>>> HI, I'M KYLE DYER.

WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 30TH.

WE HOPE PEOPLE MAKE IT TO WHERE THEY WANT TO BE.

ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH FLIGHT FANS.

IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE ESPECIALLY AT DIA WITH CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS.

ON TOP OF THAT DIA EXPECTS 500,000 TRAVELLERS THIS WEEKEND.

SO IF YOU ARE WATCHING AT THE AIRPORT, WE WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

LET ME GET RIGHT TO OUR PANEL.

WE HAVE PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD.

ALONG WITH ED SEALOVER.

ADAM BURG AND ALSO AMBER McREYNOLDS.

SHE IS CURRENTLY A IN THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

THE U.S. SUPREME COURT IS HANDING DOWN DECISIONS OVERTURNING LONG STANDING.

PATTY LET'S START WITH YOU.

>> ONE OF THEM IS THE 303 WEDDING WEB SITE.

THE ONE THAT DID COME DOWN EARLIER THIS WEEK IS ABOUT STOCKING AND HARASSMENT.

IT FOLLOWS A DENVER CASE A LONG TIME MUSICIAN DID VERY WELL HAD BEEN HARASS ONLINE.

HE SCARED HER TO DEATH.

HE WOULD DO MILLIONS OF MESSAGES THAT WOULD BE LIKE DIE.

HE WAS ARRESTED AND WENT TO JAIL FOR STALKING.

BECAUSE IT WAS ONLINE IT DID NOT QUALIFY AS TRUE THREAT.

YOU TALK TO THIS WOMAN, SHE FELT THREATEN SHE HAD TO GIVE UP HER CAREER.

THEY WILL HAVE TO REDEFINE THIS STATUTE.

YOU WANT TO SAY FREE SPEECH.

YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SAY NASTY THINGS AS THEY DO TO ALL OF US ONLINE, BUT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL SAFE.

IT WILL BE A TRICKY ISSUE.

YOU HAVE THE LEGISLATORS THEY CAN SAY WE WILL BAND PEOPLE WHO WE DON'T LIKE.

THAT DOES NOT JIVE FROM THIS DECISION FROM THE U.S. SUPREME COURT.

COLORADO HAS TO CONSIDER WHERE THEY ARE GOING WITH THIS.

>> ED?

>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A CASE ABOUT A WEEK AGO.

THE NAVAJO NATION ASKED THE SUPREME COURT BE ABLE TO SAY WE ARE GOING TO SECURE WATER RIGHTS AND WATER PLANNING.

THIS IS A CASE THAT COLORADO AND OTHER STATES AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPPOSED THEM ON.

WATER PLANNING IS A DISASTER ALREADY.

ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS THE NEGOTIATIONS FOUND OUT HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS AND HOW CLOSE WE WERE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYING WE ARE GOING TO MAKE ARBITRARY CUTS TO GET AGRICULTURE WATER OR OUTDOOR RECREATION WATER.

IF THE NAVAJO NATION COULD GET THESE RIGHTS SO COULD THIS OTHER NATION.

FRANKLY WE GET NOWHERE.

THE FACT IS WATER IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE WEST.

PEOPLE NEED TO THINK HOW WE WILL USE IT AND ENSURE WE HAVE THE WATER WE NEED TO DO THINGS LIKE ALLOWING COMPANIES TO OPERATE ON THE RIVER OR BUILD HOMES TO ADDRESS OUR MASSIVE HOUSING SHORTAGE.

THIS WAS IMPORTANT IN THAT.

>> ADAM?

>> IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DEJA VU.

THIS WEEK LAST YEAR THE COURT CHOSE TO OVERTURN ROE VERSUS WADE.

I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING HERE I WAS READING A GALLUP POLL DEPENDING HOW YOU FRAME THE ISSUE OF ALLOWING MINORITY STUDENTS INTO COLLEGE CHANGES AMERICAN'S OPINIONS WHAT COMES OUT OF THIS.

THEIR VIEW OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

I'LL BE CURIOUS TO SEE THE RESPONSE FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

WE SEE MORE PUBLIC OFFICIALS TALKING ABOUT THIS CASE.

>> I WOULD AGREE AS WELL.

AMBER WITH ALL YOUR WORK ON ELECTIONS.

YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS REGARDING WHO IS IN CHARGE?

>> IT DEALT WITH WHAT IS THE INDEPENDENT.

THIS CASE INVOLVED NORTH CAROLINA AGAIN.

THE VIEW ON THE EXTREME SIDE STATE LEGISLATURES CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT IN TERMS OF JER MANNEDERING.

THAT COULD BE EXPANDED TO OTHER THINGS LIKE IGNORING THE VOTES OF OTHER PEOPLE.

SO THE COURT REJECTED THE EXTREME VIEW.

THEY DIDN'T GO SO FAR AS TO CREATE COMPLETE CLARITY.

WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE BUSCH VERSUS GORE.

IT IS A WIN GOING AFTER THE EXTREME VIEW.

THERE IS STILL A LOT OF VAGUENESS THAT EXISTS.

THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT ELECTION OFFICIAL COMMUNITY AND FOLKS PAY ATTENTION TO THIS ABOUT ANY LACK OF CLARITY OR VAGUENESS.

>> WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE POST OFFICE IF BILLY HAD SENT A NOTE THROUGH THE MAIL.

>> IT DEMENDS ON THE LEGAL AUTHORITIES OF THE LOCAL LEVEL AND HOW THEY CAN TRACK IT.

IT DEPENDS ON THE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

>> IT IS SCARY, HOW CAN STALKING BE CONTROLLED.

>> WE DID A STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WAS STALKED BY HER EX-BOYFRIEND.

SHE WAS MURDERED.

YOU THINK DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SYSTEM WORKS BUT THEY STILL FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

>> CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>> WHEN HIS BIG AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN DIED THE LAST DAY OF THE SENATE THIS SESSION, HE HAD EIGHT MONTHS TO GATHER TO REFORMULATE AND RESTART THE DISCUSSIONS.

THE GOVERNOR BASICALLY SAYING WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, YOU CAN COME WITH ME AGAINST THE INTEREST OF YOUR ORGANIZATION.

IT WAS, I GUESS NOT THAT SHOCKING.

POLIS WILL DOUBLE DOWN ON HIS BELIEFS DESPITE ANY OPPOSITION TO HIM.

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS, WE NEED TO FIND AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTION.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY WE NEED TO BUILD MORE HOUSING TO BRING THE OVERALL COST OF HOUSING.

THIS WAS NOT THE WAY TO START FINDING THE MIDDLE GROUND.

IF WE DON'T FIND SOME SOLUTION HERE, IT IS VERY DOUBTFUL I HEARD 12 SENATORS FROM THE DEMOCRATS WERE READY TO REJECT POLIS OVERLAPPING PLAN IN 2024 AS WE SHOULD.

>> OKAY.

ADAM YOU ARE AT THE WESTERN GOVERNOR CONFERENCE.

>> I DO WANT TO TOUCH ON SOMETHING ED SAID.

FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE SURPRISING GIVEN THOUSAND THINGS ENDED AT THE END OF THE SESSION WHERE HE WAS GUTTED IN THE SENATE BY BOTH PARTIES WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET THIS DONE.

JUST FEELS LIKE WE ARE NOT MAKING PROGRESS.

A LOT OF TIME UNTIL THE NEXT SESSION.

IT MAKES MY CURIOUS HOW THESE SESSIONS GO.

THIS WEEK IN BOULDER 22 WESTERN MOST U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES PARTICIPATING IN THIS.

LOTS OF TALK OF WATER AND GEOTHERMAL.

I THINK THE MOST INTERESTING THING TO COME OUT OF THIS SO FAR THE STATE OF WYOMING AND THE STATE OF COLORADO ANNOUNCED MOU REGARDING -- TWO VERY DIFFERENT STATES TRYING TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO WILD FIRE IMPACT AND AIR QUALITY WE SEE ACROSS THE WEST.

AGAIN, AS ED TOUCHED ON EARLIER NO REAL SOLUTION IN TERMS OF WATER COMING FROM THESE CONVERSATIONS.

A LOT OF DIALOGUE ABOUT WATER BEING AN ISSUE.

WE ARE 3% IN A DROUGHT NOW.

COMPARED TO WHERE WE WERE.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON WATER AS WE HEAD INTO THE SUMMER.

>> AMBER GOVERNOR POLIS AND LEADERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTIES ANNOUNCED MARCH 5TH, 2024, WILL COLORADO'S PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY DAY.

>> IT WILL BE A SUPER TUESDAY.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS IS NUMBER ONE WE HAVE THE NEW PRIMARY LAW THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE PRIOR TO 2020.

UNAFFILIATED VOTERS WILL GET BOTH A REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BALLOT.

THE CHOICES FOR BOTH WILL BE THERE.

AND ALSO WHEN YOU ARE ON SUPER TUESDAY AND EARLIER STATE LIKE THAT YOU GET FAR MORE ATTENTION FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

THERE WILL BE A LOT MORE VISITS.

WE WILL SEE BEING PART OF THAT DAY IT DRAWS MORE ATTENTION.

WE WILL SEE MORE ADS.

>> I DIDN'T REALIZE THE GOVERNOR IS THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHEN OUR ELECTIONS ARE?

>> IT GETS SET AHEAD OF -- THERE IS A PERIOD OF TIME IT HAS TO BE SET SO ELECTION OFFICIALS CAN PREPARE.

>> THERE WASN'T ALL SUPER TUESDAY.

>> IT CAME AFTER IT WAS VOTED ON THE VOTERS.

>> THE TIGER KING WHO SAID HE WANTED TO GET ON THE PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT DID NOT MAKE IT.

I THINK WILL.

I HAPPEN TO BE IN MONTANA LAST WEEK, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WYOMING COOPERATING WITH COLORADO ON THE AIR PLAN.

MONTANA IS A FLASH POINT WITH THE TRANSGENDER LEGISLATURE WHO IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE SEATED.

IT IS AN INTERESTING STATE RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T THINK THEIR GOVERNOR MADE IT TO THE SHOW?

>> I THINK THAT IS RIGHT.

>> HE DIDN'T COME.

HE IS NOT PLAYING NICELY WITH OTHER.

THEY DON'T CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH.

POLIS WENT TO THE SCIENCE EVENT WHERE HE WAS ONE OF THE KEYNOTE SPEAKERS IN THE WELCOME.

WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE THE FOREFRONT OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE.

>> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS IN MANY DIFFERENT AREAS.

TO MAKE COLORADO BETTER.

ADAM, COLORADO LEARNED THEY ARE RECEIVING $826 MILLION TO MAKE MORE HOMES ACCESSIBLE TO HIGH SPEED INTERNET.

>> IT COMES FROM $42.5 BILLION OF FEDERAL MONEY.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT HERE IN COLORADO.

90% OF COLORADOANS HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH SPEED BROADBAND.

I CAN TELL YOU FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

THAT IS OVER 190,000 HOUSEHOLDS.

GETTING THEM UP TO SPEED FOR STAYING UP TO DATE, FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES, WE KNOW BROADBAND IS THE FUTURE.

THE BETTER IT IS FOR ALL OF US.

>> SPEAKING OF POLIS ANNOUNCED A TALENT DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE TO GET MORE JOBS IN COLORADO.

AMBER WITH YOUR WORK WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COMES TO MIND.

USPS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR EMPLOYEES.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

ONE OF THE OLDEST AGENCIES WITHIN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

WE HAVE A REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE UNIVERSAL SERVICE.

IT IS THE LARGEST NETWORK OF RETAIL LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD BY FAR.

AND WE, RIGHT NOW, IT RELATES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WE HAVE ISSUES HIRING IN THE NUMBER OF MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES.

IT IS EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN ASPEN AND SLIDA HAS STRUGGLES.

A LOT OF THE REASON WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FILL A LOT OF THE POSITIONS.

DON'T HAVE PEOPLE APPLYING FOR IT, IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN SOME OF THESE AREAS.

THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL INDUSTRIES, FOR ALL AGENCIES THAT SERVE THE PUBLIC TO CREATE AND CONTINUE TO FUEL THE PIPELINE OF OUR VERY IMPORTANT WORKFORCE.

>> WE NEED TO KEEP THESE JOBS TO KEEP OUR ECONOMY GOING.

>> TRUE.

THAT IS A GOOD MOVE JUST TO TRY TO BRIDGE THE RURAL URBAN DIVIDE.

PEOPLE ARE IRRITATED THEY CAN'T GET CELL SERVICE OR CAN'T GET WI-FI.

SO IT IS A BIG MOVE.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD.

SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE COME IN, THE PEOPLE GOTTEN -- THE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF PANDEMIC MONEY, ARE THEY PLANNING WHAT TO DO ONCE THAT MONEY IS GONE.

ARE THEY GOING TO BE SUSTAINABLE?

DO THEY HAVE THE FUNDS TO KEEP GOING.

IT IS NOT JUST GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.

IT IS GOING TO BE ALL THE SMALL BUSINESSES.

I THINK WE GOT SOME ROUGH TIMES AHEAD WITH SMALL BUSINESSES.

>> IT COULD BE.

>> THIS IS AN INTERESTING LAW THAT KIND OF FLEW UNDER THE RADAR AT THE LEGISLATURE.

THE IDEA IS THAT FOLKS WANT OIL AND GAS TO USE LESS FRESH WATER.

BUT IT IS ESSENTIALLY A ONE TIME USE THEY ARE PUTTING INTO THE WELL AND NOT GOING BACK.

BEING USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE AG OFTEN DOES.

OIL AND GAS WE WANT TO USED RECYCLED WATER.

SOME OF THOSE WELLS ARE 90% RECYCLED WATER.

THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONCERNS.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE GIVEN ARBITRARY GOALS.

PRODUCED WATER CON SORE SUM.

HOW CAN IT BE RECYCLED AND USED.

BY THE END OF 2024 RECOMMEND A PLAN FORMED.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT OIL AND GAS AND WATER AND THE WORD FIGHTING IS THE MOST COMMON WORD WE USE WITH IT.

HOPEFULLY IT SETS THE STAGE ON FUTURE DISCUSSIONS.

THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOT OF CONSENSUS.

>> CONSENSUS, WE LIKE THAT WORD.

FOR OUR LAST TOPIC TOMORROW JULY 1ST IS THE DAY WHEN WE HAVE A NEW FISCAL YEAR STARTING THE STATE GOVERNOR IN COLORADO.

NEW LAWS TAKE EFFECT AS WELL.

I WILL HAVE YOU GUYS -- WHAT IS THE NORM NOW.

AMBER?

>> WE HAVE SEEN THIS MASSIVE INCREASE IN 2020, FOLKS THAT ARE FOLLOWING THIS INFORMATION AND BEING MISLED BECAUSE OF THEIR PERSON THEY SUPPORT AND LOST HAS RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF THREATS TO ELECTION OFFICIALS.

AND SO THERE WAS A LAW PUT IN PLACE THAT WILL HELP STRENGTHEN PROTECTION.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR VOTING SYSTEMS FOR OUR WORKERS TO BE PROTECTED.

>> IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO BE SAFE.

PATTY?

>> TWO THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN LOST BUT ARE NOT, WE ARE NOT SEEING AFFORDABLE HOUSING LOSS.

NOW WE ARE GOING INTO A VOTE IN NOVEMBER THAT PEOPLE WILL CRANKY ABOUT OVER HH WHICH IS THE WHOLE PROPERTY TAX DEBACLE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DEAL WITH THAT.

WE HAVE CHALLENGES COMING FROM DOUGLAS BRUCE AGAIN.

WE ALSO HAVE THE COUNTY CLERKS WHO HAVE GOTTEN MORE ASSESSMENT PROTESTS THAT EVER BEFORE.

>> I HAVE HEARD THAT.

ED?

>> ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LAWS THAT WILL COME OUT OF THE 2023 SESSIONS IS HOUSE BILL 1246.

THIS LAW HAD THE GREATEST SHORTAGE.

WE ARE TALKING NURSING, EDUCATION, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND CONSTRUCTION.

WE ARE GOING TO GIVE FREE TUITION WHO WANT TO GET THROUGH QUICK PIPELINES TO HURRY UP AND GET STUDENTS.

HELPING PEOPLE TO GET THROUGH THIS.

IT MAY SEEM HARD TO BELIEVE.

SO MANY BUSINESSES INABILITY TO NOT JUST FIND WORKERS BUT MATCH THE TALENTS.

THESE ARE AREAS YOU CAN GO IN AND SAY YOU CAN GO TO A SIX MONTH CLASS.

YOU CAN DO THIS.

IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE HEALTH CARE FIELD YOU CAN GET A QUICK TRAINING AND MOVE YOUR WAY UP.

SHOULD SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THE FUTURE AS WELL.

>> ADAM?

>> I WANT TO TOUCH ON ONE BILL.

TO GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH LAWS COMING INTO AFFECT.

470 NEW LAWS FROM THIS SESSION.

78% OF THE BILLS INTRODUCED IN TOTAL BECAME LAW THIS YEAR.

THAT IS THE HIGHEST -- THE SECOND HIGHEST PERCENTAGE IN THE LAST 11 YEARS.

IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS TRYING TO OPERATE IN THE STATE OF COLORADO, THIS IS NEW LEGISLATION THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY AND GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF.

ONE GOOD THING THAT IS GOING INTO EFFECT ONE OF THE TOP STATES OF VEHICLE THEFT.

WE ARE KEEPING OUR EYE NEW LAWS EVERY YEAR.

I WOULD PROBABLY SAY NO.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO WITH EACH PANELIST TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE HIGHS AND LOWS THIS WEEK.

IT CAN BE COLORADO BASED OR SOMETHING YOU HAVE SEEN ELSEWHERE.

PATTY?

>> SCHOOL BOARDS PARTICULARLY IN DENVER AND DOUGLAS COUNTY NEED EDUCATION IN WHAT THEY NEED TO DO IN OPEN MEETINGS.

WE HAVE DPS FIGHTING.

A -- JUST LEARN WHAT THE RULES ARE AND BEHAVE.

>> LOOK EVERYBODY KNOWS WE HAVE TO MOVE PAST GAS USING VEHICLES TO GET FORWARD TO LOWER OUR EMISSIONS.

HERE IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

WE HAVE TO CREATE BATTERIES.

THE VERY SAME ENVIRONMENTAL WE HAVE TO MOVE PAST GUZZLING VEHICLES WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO OPEN THIS LITHIUM MINE.

NO IS NOT AN ANSWER.

>> ADAM?

>> THERE WAS COVERAGE ABOUT SUPER MAJORITY AND SUPER MINORITIES.

THERE ARE 29 SUPER MAJORITIES UP 21 FROM YEARS AGO.

THERE ARE TWO DEMOCRATS VERSUS 29 REPUBLICANS IN THEIR STATE SENATE.

DID NOT MENTION COLORADO.

WE HAVE A SUPER MAJORITY IN OUR HOUSE.

I JUST THINK THAT DIALOGUE.

IT ADDS THROUGH THIS DEVISE SOOIF RHETORIC.

IT IS NOT A GREAT TREND TO SEE.

>> I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT.

IT RELATES TO THE LOW I WILL MENTION.

ANOTHER WEEK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT SUPPORTING OUR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

IT FALLING TO THE COMMUNITIES AND A LITTLE BIT OF THE STATE.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT FUNDING WHAT IS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR NATION.

THIS IS A VERY OBVIOUS EFFORT THEY COULD COME TOGETHER ON.

THEY CONTINUE TO NOT FUND THIS.

>> LET'S GO AND TALK ABOUT SOMETHING POSITIVE TO END THE SHOW WITH.

>> HOLIDAY WEEKEND FOR SO MANY PEOPLE.

GET OUT AND ENJOY SOME OF THE FREE STUFF.

CHERRY CREEK OFFICE FESTIVAL.

THEY HAVE CLEANED THE PLACE UP.

IT LOOKS GREAT.

>> THAT WILL BE FUN.

>> I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO THE COALITION NEWS THAT IS FIGHTING TO WHAT WAS SAID IN AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AROUND SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.

IT IS ONE THING FOR THE BOARD SAY WE THOUGHT THIS WAS TO TALK BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

THEY LOST THE CASE.

NOW THEY ARE APPEALING IT AGAIN.

WHAT WAS SAID AT THIS BOARD FOUR ARE UP FOR REELECTION IS TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE PUBLIC.

WE NEED TO LEARN THIS INFORMATION.

>> I LOVE WHEN OUR CHAMBER PARTNERS WORK TOGETHER.

THEY CAME TO AN AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE 3,000 EMPLOYEES PASSES.

IT IS A BIG DEAL GET AND TO AND FROM WORK.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT.

>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

AMBER?

>> I WILL SAY THE HIGH FOR ME WAS THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION.

THE OTHER ASK I HAVE FOR THE PUBLIC IS THIS SPECIFIC CASE WAS ABOUT REDISTRICTING.

WE HAVE A REDISTRICTING COMMISSION THAT I SERVED IN 2021.

THIS AFFIRMED THAT PROCESS IS FAR BETTER THAN GERRYMANDER.

WE JUST TOUCHED ON THIS.

I HOPE EVER VOTER AND EVERY ELECTION.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAWING DISTRICT LINES.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE AN IMPACT ON THIS STATEWIDE.

REDISTRICTING MATTERS UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT.

EVERY TIME THERE IS AN ELECTION ASK WHAT THEIR THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT?

HOW DO THEY THINK ABOUT TRANSPARENCY WHEN IT COMES TO FAIRNESS.

VOTERS SHOULD CHOOSE THEIR POLL -- POLITICIANS.

>> THE HIGHLIGHTS WAS BEING OUTSIDE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE NOT TOO FAR FROM HOME YOU CAN ESCAPE I RECOMMEND DRIVE UP IN GOLDEN.

IT IS PEACEFUL AND QUIET.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE HILLS SO GREEN BECAUSE OF THE RAIN.

SEE THE BEAUTIFUL POPPIES BEFORE THEY FADE-AWAY.

IT IS A FREE VISIT.
