Table of Contents for Jerry Kopel Collection at the Denver Public Library

Jerry Kopel began keeping records on Colorado politics and his own political career beginning in 1964. Many of the scrapbooks contain his records have been donated to the Western History Collection at the main branch of the Denver Public Library. The books are a unique source of Colorado history. They are also perhaps the best archival records of the career of an American state legislator in the latter part of the 20th century.

Book 2 Liquor license Capra

Back in 1963, Manager of Safety Dan Hoffman denied a liquor license in the 3300 block of Holly. That was followed by a 1965 decision by Al Capra denying a liquor license in the 3300 block of Holly. That was followed by an Al Capra decision in 1966 reversing his decision of 1965 in the 3300 block location of Holly.

PHAC had a meeting with city officials on August 29, 1966 four days after the Capra decision, and I laid it into Al Capra for his decision, comparing Capra's entire body to Hoffman's little finger as to common sense. Capra was the godson of Frank Ciancio Sr, political force in northwest Denver, along with his friend Mike Pomponio.

The end result was my losing my House seat in 1966 based on the citywide vote, followed by a grand jury investigation of Capra, his resignation as manager of safety, a lawsuit by me and Dolores against the Capra decision and the withdrawal of the application for a liquor license in the 3300 block of Holly.

Book 3

The rezoning fight at 32d and Quebec going south. There were seveal attempts to rezone the area for commercial purposes, with unsavory tie-ins with city council persons. While many of the articles do have dates, some do not, and will need research in the Denver Post and RMN newspapers in the particular months, to straighten out what happened and when it happened..

June, 1969 Councilman Kelly tied to rezoning issue. Burke elected council president. McNichols declines to sign zoning bill. Battle was over whether Kelly's abstention counted as a yes vote.

The time frame for the first rezoning fight was June through September of 1969.

In both rezoning battles, Dean Robinson and Van Horne were principals in interest. Later on, Robinson claimed to have bribed Councilman Caldwell to change his vote. Caldwell voted against the original rezoning and carried the second attempt.

Robinson wrote out his views on what procedurally happened. That is followed by investigation I made on the background of the parties involved.

(There is one separate zoning fight mentioned regarding a bank on East Colfax)

In the meantime I hired George Creamer to argue for McNichols veto.

The next move involved TransCentral in February - July, 1970 with some of the same council characters. There was misunderstanding with the Park Hill Improvement Assn.

Transcentral reappears in 1973 according to GPHC newsletter

Businessmen report alleged shakedown by Caldwell according to RMN, October of 1982 . Final story on Caldwell in 2004

Governmental Annual 64-65 (after 64 election)

1964-1965 Book 1 Fair Housing

Most of the pages containing newspaper articles are on sticky paper, and much of the material is not in consecutive order. It will likely be necessary to copy those pages in order to make sense of the events by placing them together. Trying to remove news articles from the pages will damage the paper.

The areas involved are

(1) The Governor's 1964 committee on the Fair Housing issues. It was dominated by persons not interested in strengthening fair housing. They came up with a weak bill that was carried by Sen. Kelley. Bert Gallegos was chairman of the committee and John Moran was chair of a subcommittee.

The articles carry through the committee work, their final decision and the introduction by Sen. Kelley. The bill did not leave the Senate.

(2) The real estate industry news articles and newsletter comments opposing a strong fair housing law. In addition there was other opposition, including newspaper articles, which should be included with the realtors.

(3) The bill Kopel introduced. Included in this portion would be the workup in 1964 with suggestions from others, the bill introduced, comments by the AG's office, the changes by an "Ike" Moore amendment, but not too much on what happened in the Senate, and I don't know why. The bill did return from the Senate basically intact and readopted by the House.

The discussion at the hearings were closely captured by the news articles. The major difference between the Governor's committee bill and the Kopel bill was that the Kopel bill covered owner-occupied housing.

The Mort Gitelman law journal article in the final pages is very useful.

There are copies of the bill in its various stages. I have also included the obituary of Warren Alexander from 1994 and other recent articles.

(4) There were many editorials and columnists' discussions on the housing issues. Perhaps they should be placed together or within the time frames of 64 and 65.

(5) There are a number of letters that could be placed within the time frames of the bill's passage.

Also I had written a letter to all captain regarding an opponent of Chuck DeMoulin, and had made enemies of captains Mike Pomponio and Frank Ciancio in attacking Manager of Safety Al Capra on a Park Hill liquor license. See Park Hill books). This book contains:
