Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Wednesday January 20th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. 

It’s Inauguration Day in Washington and the impact will be felt here in Colorado.

John Frank, the Sun’s politics reporter is here to explain. We’re also excited to share an interview with U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper where he’ll share his thoughts on Biden’s presidency.

For those of you listening who are interested in the unaffiliated newsletter that John mentioned, visit coloradosun.com backslash unaffiliated.

We also got a chance to sit down with U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper, a Colorado Democrat, yesterday, to speak about his first days in Congress, and his take on Joe Biden’s presidency.

Thanks for listening. Before we go here are a few stories you should know about today:

The Democratic Party now controls Congress as well as the Colorado statehouse. And with President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration Wednesday, state Democrats hope to have federal support for initiatives they’ve been planning for years.

Two more men have been arrested and charged in connection with the three sets of human remains found last year in the San Luis Valley. Four men in total, two of them brothers, have been arrested as part of the case.

Xcel Energy has requested an extra fee on customers’ bills to pay for wildfire mitigation work. Critics say the $589.7 million price tag puts too much burden on 1.5 million Colorado customers for work that Xcel says it would be doing anyway.

A fourth Colorado man has been arrested after the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Patrick Montgomery of Littleton has been charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct.
