This is because businesses across the state are not allowed to refuse cash as payment. What rights do renters have in Colorado? This wasn't always the case. In 2021, Colorado passed a law that required retail businesses to accept cash or face a fine.Specifically, if a business breaks the law, it can be punished by a fine of up to $250 per offense.ExceptionsAs with most laws, there are a few exceptions to keep in mind.For one, it only applies to businesses that have someone who accepts payment in person. So, if it's all through a machine and there are no people that can accept payment, they can refuse cash.Also, if a business has a device to transfer cash into a prepaid card, it can also refuse to accept cash. However, the device can't charge...

Austria’s mini-Trump gets his day in court

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:53:04 GMT

VIENNA — Villain or victim?Former Austrian leader Sebastian Kurz, his political and personal future hanging in the balance, appeared in a courtroom here on Wednesday for the opening of what could be the first of multiple trials that will determine whether he was a corrupt manipulator as chancellor, as prosecutors allege, or the victim of overzealous state attorneys and political rivals intent on undermining him.The Austrian’s fairytale rise from unknown youth leader into an international political star and chancellor at just 30 ended abruptly in October of 2021, when he was forced to resign amid accusations of corruption. Even so, Kurz’s success in leading the Austrian People’s Party to two commanding victories in 2017 and 2019 made the slick brand of right-wing populism he pioneered a model for stodgy centrist parties from Athens to Amsterdam and conservatives across Europe still try to follow his example. Kurz faces criminal charges for allegedly giving false testimony to a ...
