Gov. Hickenlooper was joined Reggie Bicha, Executive Director of the Department of Human Services, members of the General Assembly and county partners to introduce the second phase of the state’s Child Welfare Plan called “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0.” The updated plan builds on an effort announced by the governor nearly 12 months ago that detailed a common practice approach for all 64 counties, a new performance management system, redesigned employee training strategies, funding reform and increased transparency.

“We are already seeing improvements as a result of last year’s plan and the state’s child welfare system is stronger today,” Hickenlooper said. “This second phase will build on what the state is doing in partnership with local government to protect children and keep more families healthy. Beyond what state and local government does, a new hotline will make it easier for every Coloradan to join in protecting kids.” http://1.usa.gov/XoHcFQ - Feb. 6, 2013

Gov. John Hickenlooper grilled lamb chops in advance of mailing a special package to Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley to settle a friendly bet over last weekend’s football game. In that package are 12 lamb chops from the Triple M Bar Ranch in Manzanola.

“This was one of the toughest defeats I’ve ever watched, but what a game! And you do learn more from defeat than you do victory,” Hickenlooper said. “Even if you have the best quarterback and the best coach in football, and we do, nobody can be perfect every time out. Our disappointment aside, we are proud of the Denver Broncos and happy to settle our bet with Gov. O’Malley with some of the best lamb chops on earth.”

Gov. John Hickenlooper announced plans today to save more than $280 million in Medicaid spending over 10 years, permitting the prudent expansion of coverage in Colorado.
