>>> GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

I'M YOUR HOST, KRISTA KAFER, SUNDAY COLUMNIST FOR THE DENVER POST.

TONIGHT, WE'RE JOINED BY PATTY CALHOUN, FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWORD, TATE PENFIELD WITH TATE OF PENFIELD TATE LAW AND FORMER MEMBER OF THE COLORADO STATE SENATE, MARIANNE GOODLAND, CHIEF LEGISLATIVE REPORTER AT COLORADO POLITICS AND ALTON DILLARD, PRINCIPAL OF THE DILLARD GROUP, LLC.

>> A COLORADO SUN INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS, HAVE FIELD ROUGHLY 3,000 FORECLOSURE CASES SINCE 2018.

MORE THAN 250 HAVE RESULTED IN PROPERTIES BEING AUCTIONED OFF.

SOME FOR AS LITTLE AS $60,000.

LAST YEAR, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSED LEGISLATION TO REDUCE HOAS.

THE GOVERNOR AND LAWMAKERS ARE CONSIDERING ADDITIONAL ACTIONS.

WHAT MORE CAN THEY DO?

PATTY?

>> THIS WAS A REAL EYE OPENER.

GREAT WORK AT THE COLORADO SUN.

I LOVE THE HOAs DEFENDING THEMSELVES.

TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT.

DON'T PUT THAT LITTLE TROLL IF YOUR GARDEN.

PEOPLE FALLEN BEHIND ON FEES TO THE HOA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEIR ACCOUNTS SKYROCKETED.

THEY HAD ATTORNEY FEES.

THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR HOUSE.

A HOUSE WORTH MAYBE $500,000.

IT WAS A REAL EYE OPENER.

HOW MANY ARE IN HOUSING THAT ARE IN HOAs.

THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO TIGHTEN THINGS UP.

THEY DIDN'T REALLY GET INTO FINES FOR LATE FEES.

THAT'S A BIG ISSUE THEY WILL HAVE TO CLEAR UP.

>> SO ONLY 8% ULTIMATELY WERE AUCTION OFF.

>> IT IS SIGNIFICANT.

IT IS A SMALL AMOUNT IF IT IS YOUR HOUSE.

AND PATTY IS RIGHT.

HOAs ARE A GOOD IDEA IF THEY ARE RUN PROPLY.

THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A COMMON AREA OUGHT TO HAVE SOME SEVERAL GOVERNANCE AUTHORITY.

THE PROBLEM WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS MANY PEOPLE IN THE HOA BOARDS DON'T HAVE ANY PARTICULAR EXPERTISE OR KNOWLEDGE.

SOMETIMES THEY CAN ACT ON PERSONAL VENDETTAS.

SOME THINGS EXTENDING THE NOTICE PERIODS.

EXTENDING WHAT WE CALL THE CURE TIMES.

HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE TO FIX SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF.

I HAVE SUED HOAs BEFORE.

EVEN THOUGH I THINK THEY SERVE A PURPOSE.

TIMES THEY GO OVERBOARD.

THEY SHOULD NEVER TAKING SOMEONE'S HOUSE.

>> I LIVE IN A TAILOR DOWN BY THE RIVER BEFORE I LIVED IN AN HOA.

WHEN PEOPLE DON'T PAY THEIR FINES OR DUES.

OTHER HOMEOWNERS HAVE TO PICK UP THOSE COSTS.

DO THEY HAVE A POINT IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING?

>> I DON'T KNOW GO ALL THE WAY TAKING SOMEONE'S HOME AWAY FOR FAILURE TO PAY HOA DUES SEEMS TO BE GOING WAY TOO FAR.

WHEN A PERSON LOSES A $500,000 HOUSE THAT IS EQUITY THAT PEOPLE HAVE PUT IN TO THAT HOME.

THE LEGISLATURE HAS STARTED LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE.

THE PROBLEM IS THE TASK FORCE THEY SET UP HASN'T BEEN FORMED YET.

THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE TOGETHER UNTIL NOVEMBER 1ST.

THE REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ANOTHER 6 MONTHS AFTER THAT.

WE ARE A GOOD MONTH AFTER THAT.

>> THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED LAST YEAR AS MARIANNE GOODLAND SAID MAKE SURE PEOPLE GET NOTIFIED.

WHAT MORE DO YOU THINK THEY CAN DO.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GIVE RELIEF NOW?

>> ONE THING NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS MORE EDUCATION AROUND THIS.

COLORADO IS A PUBLIC TRUSTEE STATE.

AS SOMEONE WHO WORKED AND SERVED IN DENVER TRUSTEE.

OUR PHONES STARTED RINGING OFF THE HOOK WHEN PEOPLE STARTING CALLING FROM GREEN VALLEY RANCH.

WE WERE VERY CUSTOMER CENTRICS.

WE GOT THEM STEERED TO THE RIGHT PLACE ALSO CLARITY AROUND THE PROCESS.

IN DENVER IT IS THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT EXECUTES JUDICIAL FORECLOSURES.

BY THE TIME YOU FIGURE OUT DO YOU NEED TO GET THE SHERIFF'S INVOLVED VERSUS A DISTRICT COURT MATTER.

WE WERE TRYING TO HELP THESE HOMEOWNERS NAVIGATE.

MARIANNE MAKES A GOOD POINT ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND ESPECIALLY GIVEN SOME OF THE TIGHTNESS IN OUR HOUSING MARKET.

>> TWO PEOPLE WITH COLORADO CONNECTIONS ARE AMONG THE 19 INDICTED IN GEORGIA FOR ATTEMPTING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION.

FORMER UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO LECTURER JOHN EASTMAN REPRESENTS THE COLORADO GOP IN A LAWSUIT TO CLOSE JUNE PRIMARIES TO UNAFFILIATED VOTERS.

JENNA ELLIS IS AN ADVISORY FELLOW AT THE CENTENNIAL INSTITUTE AFFILIATED WITH COLORADO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY WHERE SHE ONCE THOUGHT.

AS A LAWYER, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS CASE AGAINST THE -- THESE FOLKS HAVE BEEN INDICTED.

PEN?

>> THIS INDICTMENT IS HUGE.

THIS IS ABOUT A CONSPIRACY TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION.

IT IS GROUNDED IN INFLUENCE.

THIS IS GANGSTER TOUGH.

THAT IS WHAT THE STATE OF GEORGIA IS SAYING.

WE HAVE A BUNCH OF GANGSTERS CONSPIRE TO OVERTURN OUR ELECTION.

AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IN GEORGIA, YOU HAVE ELECTED OFFICIALS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE WHO SAID THIS IS GARBAGE.

WE HAD CLEAN ELECTIONS, WE HAD FAIR ELECTIONS.

THERE WAS NO THEFT INVOLVED HERE.

THERE ARE WORRYING OVERTURNS ABOUT A REPEAT OF JANUARY 6TH.

THE GRAND JURORS, THEIR NAMES BECOME PUBLIC IN TERMS OF VOTING OUT THE INDICTMENT.

THEY ARE GETTING THREATS.

PEOPLE ARE COMING AFTER THEM.

THE PROSECUTOR HAS BEEN THREATEN.

YOU HAVE THE FORMER PRESIDENT WHO IS WHIPPING THE FLAMES OF THAT SENTIMENT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE HUGE.

IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO WATCH.

LAST IMPORTANT POINT IS A CONVICTION IS ONE THAT A PRESIDENT CANNOT PARDON THEMSELVES FROM.

IF HE TAKES A HIT ON THIS HE CAN'T PARDON HIMSELF.

>> GET OUT OF JAIL.

>> NOT GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD ON THIS ONE.

>> I'M FASCINATED IT WAS THE VENUE GOING AFTER THESE 19 DEFENDANTS.

ONE THING THAT FASCINATED ME THOUGH THE BEHAVIOR OF THESE DEFENDANTS AS WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS FIRST WEEK OF -- AFTER THE INDICTMENT.

ONE OF THE STORIES I SAW THE OTHER DAY WAS THAT RUDY GIULIANI WE BELIEVE HE IS AN UNNAMED COCONSPIRATOR.

HE MADE TWO TRIPS IN RECENT MONTHS TO THE BEG PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH HIS LEAGUE FEES.

SO OBVIOUSLY, THE MONEY THAT THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS RAISING IS NOT USING TO HELP HIS CODEFENDANTS.

IF THERE ARE GOING TO GET HUNG OUT TO DRY WHAT COULD BE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES HE IS SELLING A CONDO TO PAY FOR HIS LEGAL FEES.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT MAY BE TAKING AN INTERESTING RISK OF PEOPLE FLIPPING ON HIM BECAUSE HE IS THROWING THEM UNDER THE BUS AND NOT HELPING.

>> ONE THING WE HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND HERE, THIS IS AMERICA.

ONE THERE IS HALF THE COUNTRY THAT THINKS THAT TRUMP IS THE APITMY OF AMERICA.

THERE IS ANOTHER HALF THAT THINKS HE IS THE AMERICAN ADEAL.

I WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS GLUED TO THE TV FOR BOTH THE OJ AND RODNEY KING VERDICTS.

I'M MENTALLY PREPARING MYSELF TO HELP MY LIBERAL FRIENDS IF HE ENDS UP WALKING.

>> THERE IS ANOTHER COLORADO CONNECTION WHICH IS DIMINON.

THEY HAVE SUFFERED.

THEY DID GET THE NICE FOX SETTLEMENT.

WE ARE NOW SEEING HAPPENING TO THE GRAND JURY IN GEORGIA.

IT READS LIKE A CRIME NOVEL.

IN GEORGIA IT IS A TOOL THEY USE MORE OFTEN AND BECAUSE OF LAWS THERE.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND RUDY GIULIANI GET A NEW PHONE SERVICE.

LOOK AT THE AMOUNT HE IS ASKING FOR.

NO ONE SOMEONE STILL HAS PHONE BILLS OF 55,000.

HE HAS A BAD PLAN.

>> ONE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER ABOUT THIS CASE.

NUMBER ONE, THIS HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR TWO YEARS.

THEY SPENT TWO YEARS PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

AND IT IS ONE OF THESE INDICTMENTS YOU READ IT TRUTH IS WEIRDER THAN FICTION.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

NUMBER TWO, EVERYBODY HEARD THIS RECORDING YOU GOT TO FIND ME 11 THOUSAND 780 VOTES.

THE FINAL PIECE PEOPLE ARE WHAT THEY ARE.

DONALD TRUMP HAS HIRED LAWYERS, FIRED LAWYERS, NOT PAID THEM AND THEN TURN AROUND AND SUE THEM.

THEY ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO GET STIFFED ON THE BILL.

ANOTHER LAW FIRM WILL STEP UP AND SUE THEM.

>> IS IT POSSIBLE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE GENUINELY THOUGHT THE ELECTION HAD BEEN STOLEN AND SIMPLY DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO RESTORE JUSTICE?

CAN WE BE CERTAIN THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM NEW TRUMP HAD LOST.

>> YOUR BELIEF HAS TO BE REASONABLE AND BASED ON SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU HAVE THE PRESIDENT OWN ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT ALL THIS STUFF IS BS.

WHEN YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN ELECTED SECRETARY OF STATE THIS CRAP IS JUNK.

WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS IN GEORGIA SAYING THIS IS NONSENSE.

YOU HAVE TO ASK WHETHER IT IS REASONABLE.

THAT IS PART OF WHY THIS INDICTMENT CAME DOWN.

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE SAYING, LET'S JUST GET TOGETHER AND LIE AND PUSH FORWARD.

>> A NEW REPORT FROM THE COMMON SENSE INSTITUTE THAT VOTER APPROVE PROPOSITION HH IN NOVEMBER, MOST TAXPAYERS WILL END UP PAYING MORE TAXES OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS THAN IF IT FAILS.

JOINT FILERS COULD LOSE AN ESTIMATED $5,119 IN TABOR REFUNDS OVER THE NEXT DECADE WHILE STILL SEEING A SIZABLE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.

POLLING DATA SUGGESTS THAT VOTERS' OPINIONS ON THE PROP HH CHANGE THE MORE THEY HEAR ABOUT THE PROPOSAL.

WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK THE REPORT WILL HAVE?

>> THEY DON'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF THIS OTHER THAN THE IF IT PASSES EVERYONE GETS THE SAME TABOR REFUND.

PAST THAT ANY PROPERTY TAX INCREASE GETS PASSED DOWN FROM LANDLORDS TOER -- TO RENTERS.

I THINK YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF THIS IN THE CAMPAIGN MATERIALS AS WE HEAD INTO THE FALL.

THE PEOPLE PUTTING MONEY ARE THE WEALTHY DEMOCRATS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL BE BACKING PROP HH AND TELLING VOTERS TO BACK IT.

THEY TEND TO GO VERY CONSERVATIVE ON IT.

IF THEY THINK THEY WILL LOSE MONEY, IF THEY THINK THEY WILL GET NAILED FOR THIS THEY WILL NOT LIKE IT.

THE MORE THAT PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT PROP HH THE LESS THEY LIKED IT.

>> WILL THIS INFLUENCE OTHER PEOPLE?

WILL THEY DO THE MATH?

>> I HOPE THEY DO THE MATH ALONG WITH THE READING.

WHAT IS HEARTENING TO ME PEOPLE DO THE DEEP DIVE.

HAD WE HAD THAT SAME LENS DURING TABOR WE MAY BE IN A DIFFERENT PART OF THIS DISCUSSION.

YOU KNOW THAT IS THE THING THAT IS SO FASCINATED ABOUT COLORADO.

I TELL THIS IS THE WILD WILD WEST.

IT IS SORT OF A HANDS OFF.

NOW YOU ARE MESSING WITH PEOPLE'S MONEY.

THE IMPACT ON RENTERS, ONE OF THE WHOLE REASONS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BECOME PROPERTY OWNERS PROVIDES SOME OUTLEVEL STABILITY.

NOW YOU WILL BE EXPERIENCING BIG SPIKE OR ONE TIME FRONT PAYOFF AND THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD YOU ARE BEING HAMMERS, I JUST DON'T THINK IT HAS A SHOT.

>> I READ THE BLUE BOOK DRAFT.

IKEA DIRECTIONS MANUAL MAKES MORE SENSE.

IT IS PRETTY DARN COMPLICATED.

>> THEY ARE GOING CRAZY.

THEY ARE SEEING THE ASSESSMENT PROTEST HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN.

I THINK IT IS SEVEN OUT OF TEN HAS BEEN TURNED DOWN.

ANY PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE CRANKY.

PEOPLE CAN STILL PROTEST THE WORDING.

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON IT WILL BECOME A GOLDEN BOOK THAT WE GROW UP READING.

IT WILL NOT BECOME THAT MUCH EASIER.

PEOPLE ARE MAD.

THEY ARE CHARGED FOR THEIR PICK UP.

THEY ARE MAD THEIR HOUSE ASSESSMENT DIDN'T GO DOWN.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SEE HOW BIG THEIR PROPERTY TAX BILL UNTIL AFTER THEY VOTED FOR THIS WHICH WILL PROBABLY PUT PROPONENTS AT A DISADVANTAGE.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> MY COMMENT IS SORT OF LIKE ALTON'S.

PRIOR TO 1992 THE COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY DID THEIR JOB.

WHEN REVENUES WERE LOW THEY RAISED TAXES.

THEY COULD DO THAT WITH A BILL.

WHEN THINGS WERE OKAY THEY LEFT THINGS AS THEY WERE.

ONCE WE PASS TABOR IN '92 WE CHANGED THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC.

WE CREATED THIS FALSE CONCEPT OF A SURPLUS WHEN THERE WASN'T SUCH A THING.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE PASSED A NUMBER OF OTHER STATUTES THAT HAVE SIMPLY LOCKED MONEY IN TO CERTAIN POTS AND POOLS AND DOESN'T ALLOW THE STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

WE TRY TO PASS ANOTHER LEGISLATION TO FIX A PROBLEM WE SEE AND IT COMPOUNDS ON ITSELF.

AT SOME POINT ALTON IS RIGHT.

YOU CAN READ, WE CAN STUDY AND HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE UNDUE ALL OF THIS JUNK TO GET OUT OF THIS MESS.

>>> THE STATE'S FREE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IS OFF TO A ROCKY START.

A SHORTFALL IN FUNDING CHANGED ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND NOT ALL KIDS WITH RISK FACTORS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE 30 HOURS OF PRESCHOOL A WEEK THEY WERE PROMISED.

MEANWHILE, THE DENVER CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE AND TWO OF ITS PARISHES ARE SUING THE STATE ON FIRST AMENDMENT GROUNDS BECAUSE THEIR SCHOOLS CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM IF THEY UPHOLD THE CHURCH'S TEACHINGS ON SEXUALITY.

AS THE SCHOOL YEAR GETS ROLLING, WILL THE PROGRAM MEET SUPPORTERS' EXPECTATIONS?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ALTON?

>> FIRST OF ALL, THIS WAS A CLASSIC MOMENT FROM OUR LIBERTARIAN GOVERNOR.

WHEN HE MADE THE REMARKS PEOPLE JUST WANT FREE PRESCHOOL.

AND SO I'VE BEEN AROUND GOVERNMENT LONG ENOUGH TO ALWAYS UNDERSTAND ANY TIME SOMETHING IS BRAND NEW THE ROLLOUT IS GOING TO BE BUMPY.

I THINK THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET ALL OF THE BUMPS IRONED OUT OF IT.

IT ALSO CAME DOWN TO A MESSAGING ISSUE.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION, THE CAP ON OURS SHOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN UPFRONT, BUT NO ONE TOLD US ON THE CAP ON THE HOURS.

AND TO THE PART ABOUT THE LAWSUIT, I'M INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT PEN HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS.

THE CATHOLICS OUR DOCTRINE BASED ON OUR BELIEFS.

THERE ARE OTHER FAITH BASED SCHOOLS THAT ARE ACCEPTING THIS MONEY.

I AM GOING TO INTERESTED IN SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT.

>> PATTY?

>> ALL OUR TODDLERS WILL GET A LESSON IN DISCRIMINATION.

I DON'T THINK THE LAWSUIT WILL MAKE IT.

THE OTHER LESSON IS YOU NEED TO BUDGET IN ADVANCE.

YOU WILL NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT WILL BE PAID FOR.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VERY CLEAR TO THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE AFFECTED.

IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO PROMISE FREE PRESCHOOL.

>> THE QUESTION -- WE HAD THE ISSUE WHEN IT CAME TO CHARTER SCHOOLS IN COLORADO ALSO.

IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

WHETHER THOSE SCHOOLS CAN GET STATE FUNDING WHEN THEY PUSH A POINT OF VIEW BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION ADVOCATING THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

YOU HAVE OTHER AMENDMENTS THAT SAY YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

I OFFER A COMMON SENSE QUESTION.

WE TALK ABOUT PRESCHOOL.

UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL IS GOOD.

ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY WE DON'T DO A GOOD JOB OF EDUCATING OUR KIDS.

WE ARE TALKING 3, 4, 5, YEAR OLDS WHY DO WE WANT TEACHING THEM ABOUT SEXUALITY AT 3, 4, AND 5?

JUST A THOUGHT.

>> STARTED OFF WITH HIM GOING ON CNN SAYING ABORTION IS BAD WHICH REALLY UPSET HIS ALLIES AMONG THE WOMEN DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS.

AND HE WAS DOWN AT THE INAUGURATION IN THE NEW COLORADO SPRINGS MAYOR, THIS IS A COMMUNITY THAT HAD ONE OF THE BEST GAY PRIDE PARADES IN THE COUNTRY.

THEN YOU HAD THE UNIVERSAL PRE-K THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE BEST.

FOR A GOVERNOR WHO HAS HAD A GREAT DEAL OF SUCCESS IN THE FIRST TERM HIS SECOND TERM IS OFF TO A ROCKY START.

>> THE DISGRACE OF THE WEEK AND OPPORTUNITY TO SAY SOMETHING NICE.

PATTY?

>> I DON'T NORMALLY GO OUTSIDE COLORADO BORDERS.

IN KANSAS THE COPS WAITED -- THE MOTHER WAS 98 YEARS OLD A STORY THAT HADN'T RUN TOOK EVERYTHING.

THE MOTHER WOUND OUT DYING BECAUSE OF THE SHOCK.

AS WE SEE FROM THE HOAs THEY DO A GOOD JOB.

>> PEN?

>> THE NEW ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN OFFICE IN DENVER.

THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH AN ISSUE WE HAVE ANOTHER POLICE SHOOTING A BLACK MAN.

WE GOT TO FIX THIS.

>> PLEASE NOT HAVE ANOTHER YEAR LIKE LAST YEAR.

I DON'T THINK WE CAN TAKE IT.

I'M TIRED OF SEEING POOR PERFORMANCE ON THE FIELD.

NO ONE BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

COME ON GUYS.

STEP IT UP.

>> ALTON?

>> MY DISGRACE IS THAT BLACK HISTORY IS BEING ERASED.

WE HAVE THESE MOVEMENTS GOING ON IN ARKANSAS.

NOT HAVING AP BLACK HISTORY BEING CREDIT WORTHY ANYMORE.

YOU GOT ESSENTIALLY HISTORY THAT SOMEHOW GOT BUZZ WORDED.

IT IS HISTORY.

THIS BELIEF YOU ARE OUT HERE MAKING A CERTAIN GROUP FEEL BAD BASED ON THE SINS OF THEIR FATHERS.

AN EXHIBIT SHOWING OUR HISTORY AND BEING FORTUNATE TO BE FRIENDS THAT GAVE SIZABLE DONATIONS AT THE SMITHSONIAN.

WE NEED TO KEEP OUR HISTORY ALIVE AND NEED OUR ALLIES STEP UP.

>> WE LOST A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER THIS WEEK.

HE LEFT AN INCREDIBLE LEGACY.

HE GAVE 7,000 OF HIS BEST PARAGRAPHS.

YOU CAN PUT THEM UP AT YOUR HOUSE.

YOU CAN JUST LOOK AND REMEMBER WHAT BEAUTIFUL STATE IT IS.

WHAT A GENEROUS MAN HE WAS.

>> PEN?

>> DON'T FORGET FLORIDA THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT SLAVERY WAS A GOOD THING.

I ECHO PATTY.

I'M ON THE BOARD OF THE HISTORY OF COLORADO.

WE WERE HONORED AND PLEASED TO DONATE HIS WORK TO PRESERVE HIS ICONIC WORKS FOR THE STATE OF COLORADO.

TO GET SOME TIME VISITING WITH HIM WALKING THROUGH THE EXHIBIT AND HAVING EXPLAIN WHAT HIS FAVORITE SHOTS WERE, IT WAS PRICELY.

HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

>> YOU HAVE THE ROCKY MELONS AND HAVING BUG PROBLEMS THIS YEAR THE SWEET CORN.

THIS IS JUST THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO BE A COLORADOAN.

>> AMEN.

ALTON?

>> I'M GOING TO SHOUTOUT PATTY CALHOUN FOR THE WEB SITE REDO.

IT IS NAVIGATABLE, GREAT JOB PATTY AND YOUR TEAM AT WESTWORD.
