Jane Norton, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Michael Bennet, up for election in 2010, canceled her visit to Northwest Colorado because of weather concerns.

Norton was scheduled to speak Tuesday at the Steamboat Smokehouse.

Referendum committee counting signatures

The referendum committee that hopes to bring the city of Steamboat Springs' annexation of Steamboat 700 to referendum says it has collected an estimated 1,000 signatures from city residents.

Committee members were verifying the signatures against voter registration rolls Tuesday.

Petitioners must collect at least 829 signatures by Nov. 12 to trigger the referendum process.

City officials also will vet signatures once they are turned in.

Only city residents may sign a petition.
