RENSSELAER COUNTY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Since the pandemic, animal shelters have not only needed volunteers but also needed more space.

Keeler: Broncos need to stand pat at NFL trade deadline with Pat Surtain II, defense that made Patrick Mahomes look silly.

Ship Jerry Jeudy to Siberia, for all I care. But if Sean Payton and his buddy George Paton lay so much as a pinkie on this defense, Broncos Country oughta riot.“The NFL is a business. That’s how the game goes,” Broncos star cornerback Patrick Surtain II told myself and a circle of scribes Monday at the Ritz-Carlton downtown before a charitable competition for his new Patrick Surtain II Foundation.“But you’ve got to focus on just being where your feet are, not allowing the external noise to control or affect your mindset. Put one foot in front of the other every day and just sort of focus on the team’s success right now.”No single Broncos asset could jump-start a rebuild the way PS2 could, all by himself. He’s young, one of the best cornerbacks in the league and still on a rookie contract. Heck, Surtain might be the only player on the roster who guarantees at least one first-round draft pick in return by Halloween’s 2 p.m. trade d...

The Denver City Council on Monday approved an amendment that would pull $14.8 million out of the reserves set aside in Mayor Mike Johnston’s proposed 2024 budget to provide more rental assistance for Denverites facing evictions next year.The vote, 9-4, is a supermajority that could overrule Johnston should he choose to veto that amendment to his spending plan. Council members said they are open to more discussion with the administration about funding sources for a cause even dissenting members agree desperately needs more cash.It’s the latest phase in a struggle that has emerged between the new mayor and a council that was reshaped by spring elections. Johnston has focused much of his efforts on providing shelter for people living homeless on the city’s streets.“We heard loud and clear for the community that rental assistance is absolutely necessary as we are faced with the ever-growing rise in evictions (that) by low estimates could end us up with 20,000 peo...
