>>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO JULY 15TH, 2022, EDITION COLORADO INSIDE OUT.

WE ARE KICKING TODAY'S SHOW OFF WITH SOME PREDICTIONS.

MAKE SURE TO TUNE IN NEXT WEEK AND SEE WHO IS CORRECT.

PANELIST LET'S GET YOUR PREDICTIONS ON THE HIGHLIGHTS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT LIKE TO NOTE.

WE WILL KICK IT OFF WITH PATTY CALHOUN THE COFOUNDER OF WESTWARD.

WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS OF HANCOCK?

>> IF YOU ARE AROUND TOWN IT IS MUCH MORE LIVELY.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE RADIO HOST YOU ALMOST THINK WE ARE LIVING IN APOCALYPTIC TIME.

WE HAVE ISSUES LIKE THE HOMELESS.

THINK WHAT WE WILL FIND OUT ON MONDAY.

HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY'S FIGHT TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS AND GET THEM THE HELP THEY NEED.

I THINK THAT WILL BE A MUCH BIGGER EMPHASIS.

I THINK WE WILL BE HEARING ABOUT HOW THE CITY LOOKS FOR THE FUTURE.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR NEW DESIGN.

THERE IS A NEW POSITION COMING IN AUGUST 1ST TO TAKE THE FIRST DEDICATED DESIGNER.

URBAN PLANNING WILL BE IMPORTANT.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN DOWNTOWN IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS SINCE THE PANDEMIC YOU WILL BE SHOCKED.

I THINK WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY, HOW IT WILL LOOK, AND HOW PEOPLE WILL BE TREATED.

>> I HAVE A PREDICTION YOU WON'T BE MUCH LONGER BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL AT THE UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND WHAT DO YOU THINK THE PREDICTIONS WILL BE?

>> THE STATE OF THE CITY MIGHT BE FLAT RIGHT NOW.

I THINK THE SPEECH WILL BE VERY ROSY.

I THINK HE WILL USE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY UP ALL THE SUCCESSES HE HAS HAD THROUGHOUT HIS TERM AS MAYOR AND HIGHLIGHT THOSE.

HANCOCK IS ON HIS WAY OUT.

HE HAS JUST OVER A YEAR LEFT IN OFFICE.

I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO LAY OUT AGENDA ITEM KIND OF TELL HIM WHAT THIS NEXT YEAR WOULD LOOK AT.

THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT I CAN DO FOR HIS POLITICAL CAREER.

I THINK HE WILL TRY TO USE IT TO HELP HIS PARTY.

THAT'S WHERE HE CAN MAKE SOME PROGRESS.

>> AND KRISTA KAFER FROM THE DENVER POST WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN SO MANY WAYS.

I THINK WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN AIR POLLUTION.

I MEAN THERE IS COMPETITION.

WE ARE NUMBER ONE IN SALE EXPENSE OF REALTY.

SO THERE IS A LOT OF MATERIAL TO WORK WITH FOR THIS STATE OF CITY ADDRESS.

NONE OF THAT REALLY THAT GOOD THOUGH.

>> YEAH.

ALL GOOD POINTS.

ERIC SONDERMANN IN COLORADO POLITICS AND THE GAZETTE.

>> I THINK SOME WEST COAST CITY STILL BEAT US.

I THINK WE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE CITY IN TERMS OF HOUSING SHORT OF THE WEST COAST.

SO THE STATISTICS ARE TROUBLESOME.

HE WILL TRY TO PUT THE ROSIEST PICTURE ON HIS 11 YEARS SOON TO 12 YEARS IN OFFICE.

I THINK DENVER IS A TIRED PLACE RIGHT NOW.

THE ADMINISTRATION ITSELF IS SOMEWHAT TIRED.

I HAVE LONGED SAID THEIR TERMS ARE DEADLY.

THAT IS NOT A COMMENTARY ON MICHAEL HANCOCK.

THIRD TERMS ARE DEADLY.

DENVER OUGHT TO TAKE CARE OF THAT TO PRECLUDE THAT GOING FORWARD.

DENVER IS READY TO BE INSPIRED.

READY TO SEE WHO IS IN THAT OFFICE IS GOING TO BE.

BUT DENVER IS READY FOR THAT DISCUSSION AND THAT DEBATE AS TO WHAT IS NEXT FOR MICHAEL HANCOCK THIS WILL BE A LOOK BACKWARD.

>> RIGHT ON.

ALL GOOD POINTS.

LET'S MOVE RIGHT ALONG.

FROM MICHAEL HANCOCK LAST YEAR'S SPEECH WHERE HE COVERED POLICING AT NO END.

TO MICHAEL BENNETT RECENT BILL.

SENATOR IS INTRODUCING A BILL TO HELP EXPAND COMMUNITY POLICING PROGRAM.

THE BILL IS CALLED SMART.

HAVING THE BACKGROUND WITH SMART THAT YOU DO, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FEDERAL FUNDING?

HOW BADLY IS IT NEEDED?

>> IT IS NECESSARY.

I HAVE GOTTEN TO SEE THE SUCCESS OF AURORA'S AMRT PROGRAM.

I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THAT WE COULD GET SOME ASSISTANCE AT THE STATE LEVEL TO SUPPORT INITIATIVES LIKE THESE ACROSS COMMUNITIES.

I THINK BROADLY THERE ARE A GOOD IDEA.

THEY CAN REALLY MEET PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY WHERE THEY ARE.

THEY ARE GOOD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THEY FREE UP RESOURCES WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT IS THE MOST NECESSARY AND INSURE PEOPLE GET THE RESPONSE THEY NEED AND THAT POLICE OFFICERS AREN'T THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THIS RESPONSE.

THIS SMART BILL WILL WORK WITH THE STATE AT THE CITY LEVEL AND DEVELOP NEW ONES THAT CAN DEVELOP COMMUNITIES ACROSS COLORADO.

>> THOSE ARE INTERESTING POINTS.

KRISTA WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY PEOPLE ARE INTERPRETING THE PROGRAM.

>> I CAN'T SPEAK THE WORD ON THE STREET.

I DON'T GET OUT MUCH.

>> [ LAUGHTER ] >> I WOULD SAY THIS, THE WORD IN STANDFORD UNIVERSITY THIS IS SUCCESSFUL.

THERE IS GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL FUNDING, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT THING.

THIS IS ALLOWING MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO COME ALONGSIDE POLICE, TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL, EVEN TO SAVE MONEY.

IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM.

THAT SAID I THINK WE NEED TO START QUESTIONING WHAT WE DID FOUR AND A HALF DECADES AGO IN GETTING RID OF INSTITUTIONS.

WE CAN MITIGATE IN THIS WAY.

I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK BIG PICTURE HOW WE HELP PEOPLE WHO HAVE ONGOING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

>> RIGHT ON.

I THINK ERIC SOME FOLKS ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME NAVIGATING SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE WHEN IT COMES TO FEDERAL FUNDING.

THEY ARE LIKE AREN'T LOCAL POLICE AN INSTITUTION ON TO THEMSELVES.

WHY IS MICHAEL BENNETT THE ONE FIGHTING THIS FIGHT?

CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT?

>> I THINK THE STAR PROGRAM AND OTHERS LIKE IT HAVE BEEN INNOVATIVE IDEAS.

MICHAEL BENNETT HAS SEIZED UPON THAT.

IT WILL NOT LOOK IDENTICAL IN CITY AFTER CITY.

I LARGELY AGREE WITH COLINA.

A WHOLE LOT OF US WILL GET USED TO SAYING I AGREE WITH HER.

NOT TOO MANY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

BUT THE REAL KEY HERE IS FLEXIBILITY OF THE RESPONSE.

AND ONE SIDE DOES NOT FIT ALL.

LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS ITS CRITICAL AND INESCAPABLE PLACE.

THAT PLACE DOES NOT FIT WITH EVERY SITUATION.

WHETHER IT IS OTHER PEOPLE THEY HAVE THEIR PLACE TOO.

THE INTENT OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO BRING ALL THOSE RESOURCES TO BEAR.

>> I THINK SOME FOLKS ARE POLITICALIZING THE ISSUE.

IS THE STAR PROGRAM A BLUE ISSUE?

>> WHAT ISSUE DOESN'T GET POLITICALIZED THESE DAYS?

IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ARGUE.

WHEN THE PEOPLE IN THE HOMELESS IMCAMPMENT NEED MORE HELP WITH SOCIAL SERVICES.

YOU WANT A POLICE OFFICER TO BE SENSITIVE.

THEIR JOB IS NOT TO HOLD YOUR HAND.

THEIR JOB IS TO ENFORCE THE LAW AND DO IT IN A FAIR WAY.

WITH THE STAR PROGRAM IN GENERAL.

THEY CAN GET PEOPLE THE HELP THEY NEED.

IT IS A BETTER USE OF RESOURCES.

I THINK EVERYONE AGREES WE CAN USE FEDERAL RESOURCES BETTER.

WE MIGHT NOT AGREE WHAT IS BETTER.

CERTAINLY IN THIS CASE PUTTING POLICE OFFICERS ON THE STREETS, ENFORCING LAWS IS BETTER THAN HAVING THEM BE SOCIAL WORKERS.

>> GOVERNOR JARED POLIS ISSUED ANOTHER EXECUTIVE ORDER THIS WEEK THIS TIME ORDERING MARIJUANA USE.

REGULATING PROFESSIONAL LICENSES TO PROTECT THE RIGHT OF EMPLOYEES TO ENGAGE IN LEGAL MARIJUANA USE WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.

KRISTA, THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE ALL MY CAMPING TRIPS.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON LEGALIZED WORKPLACE MARIJUANA?

>> THE WOMAN WHO CUTS MY HAIR SMOKES POT ON HER OWN TIME.

I REALLY DON'T WANT THOSE GUYS BEING MARIJUANA USERS MAYBE NOT IN THEIR FREE TIME.

I WOULD LIKE THEM TO MAKE SOME PRUDENT DECISIONS ABOUT WHERE MARIJUANA USE MAY BE ACCEPTABLE.

NOT A BIG DEAL.

IN OTHER CASES IT WILL INFRINGE ON SOMEONE'S ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB.

SOMEONE WHO USES MARIJUANA ON A FREQUENT BASIS.

I REALLY WANT SOMEONE WHO IS ALL THERE FOR ME.

>> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> I DO NOT AGREE MORE WITH KRISTA.

THIS STRIKES ME ONE SIDE FITS ALL APPROACH.

SOMEONE IN THE MARIJUANA INDUSTRY THAT IS DOING QUITE WELL EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBERS TEND TO BE OFF THIS YEAR.

I'M WITH KRISTA.

THE WHOLE PITCH FOR LEGALIZING MARIJUANA WAS TO TREAT MARIJUANA LIKE ALCOHOL.

IF SOMEONE IS ABUSING ALCOHOL, YOU CAN USE THAT IN A PROFESSIONAL PROCESS.

JUST LIKE I DON'T WANT MY DENTIST OR DOCTOR OR WHAT HAVE YOU TO BE DRUNK ON THEIR YOU KNOW WHAT WHEN I'M ON THE OPERATING TABLE.

THE SAME SHOULD BE TRUE, I DON'T WANT TO BE STONED EITHER.

THIS STRIKES ME OVERLY BROAD APPROACH.

I THINK IT WILL INCUR PUSH BACK.

>> THESE TESTS ARE FOR THE BIG PCP, COCAINE, MARIJUANA, AND OPIOIDS.

DO YOU SEE THIS AS A SLIPPY SLOPE?

>> NO.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

SO A NURSE MAYBE WANTS TO GO RELAX ON THE WEEKEND.

EATS AN EDIBLE AND SMOKES SOME POT.

SHE GOES FINE WHEN SHE GOES BACK ON HER SHIFT.

SHE MIGHT TEST POSITIVE.

IT IS A CONCERN.

IT IS DEFINITELY A CONCERNED IF IT HAPPENED IN ANOTHER STATE AND YOU WANT TO GET LICENSED HERE IN COLORADO.

I DON'T THINK -- WHO KNOWS.

KRISTA'S DENTIST MIGHT HAVE THREE MARTINIS AND WE DON'T KNOW THAT.

I SHOULD SAY IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE LEGISLATURE BUT KEEPS GETTING SHOT DOWN PART OF LACK OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT AND SMOKE DOPE AT THE TABLE.

IF SOMEONE HAS TO BE LICENSED THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT IN THEIR FREE TIME AND COME TO WORK COMPLETELY STRAIGHT.

>> I THINK THERE IS A DIVERGENCE OF OPINION.

YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> WE ARE LOOKING OFF THE JOB USE HERE.

SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ON THE JOB MIGHT FALL INTO A DIFFERENT CATEGORY.

I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS WILL CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE WE ARE SEEING COMPANIES STRUGGLE SO MUCH FOR WORKERS.

AND FINALLY, I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE I AGREE WITH ERIC SOMEWHAT.

SEEING HOW SOMEBODY IS USING FOR ANXIETY OR BACK PAIN THAT CAN BE DIFFERENT THAN RECREATIONAL USAGE AND ALSO VERY NECESSARY.

I'D LIKE TO SEE PERHAPS A SPECIFIC PIECE OF LEGISLATION.

>> A BALANCE BETWEEN THAT 70'S SHOW AND GO TO WORK.

>>> PETERS PREVIOUS BOND WAS REVOKED AFTER SHE TRAVELLED TO LAS VEGAS AFTER BEING COURT ORDERED NOT TO DO SO.

>> THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING AROUND THIS TABLE.

AT SOME POINT IT GOES BEYOND WEIRD.

IT IS PLAIN STUPID.

IF YOU ARE ORDERED NOT TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE THE STATE AND YOU GO TO SOME NOTARY PUBLIC IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA TO NOTARIZE A FORM THAT YOU ARE SENDING TO THE COLORADO SECRETARY OF STATE OF A RACE SHE LOST BY 88,000 VOTES OF LITTLE MORE HALF A MILLION VOTES.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT ELECTION DENIAL THESE DAYS IS THAT YOU NEVER HAVE TO GIVE A CONCESSION SPEECH.

YOU NEVER HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE LINE OF THEY LIKE ME, THEY LIKE ME.

IN THIS CASE MAYBE THEY DON'T LIKE ME.

YOU NEVER HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS FAKE NEWS.

IT IS ALWAYS A STACK DECK.

WE ARE SO WORRIED IN THE RON HANKS AND TINA PETERS.

THEY ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THE CULTURE THAT IS MAYBE A LITTLE EXCESSIVE THESE DAYS.

THEY ARE THE BIGGEST PROPONENTS BY REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEY LOST ELECTIONS AND LOST THEM BADLY.

>> PATTY, WHAT ADVISE WOULD YOU GIVE TO PETERS.

>> STAY AROUND AND LET US BEAT YOU MORE TINA.

SHE HAD BEEN TOLD SHE SHOULDN'T DO IT BEFORE.

SHE MAILS FROM NEVADA.

MAYBE THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS A REASON TO NOTICE IT WAS COMING FROM NEVADA.

EVERYONE KNOWS TINA HAS BEEN INDICTED FOR TEN VIOLATIONS FELONIES AND MISDEMEANORS.

SHE MAILS FOR NEVADA.

HARVEY IS HER LAWYER.

HE NEEDS TO DEFEND RIGHT NOW.

AND THEN RON HANKS THE SAME THING.

RON HANKS MAILED FROM COLORADO.

WE DON'T KNOW.

THE SAME ARGUMENT WHY THERE SHOULD BE A RECOUNT NONE HAS ANY EVIDENCE OF ANY PROBLEM THEY LOST FAIR AND SQUARE.

AND THE TINA DID THIS SHE IS NOW PROBABLY GOING TO BE -- I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WILL WIND OUT IN JAIL SHE IS GOING TO GET A SPANKING FROM THE JUDGE IN MESA COUNTY.

THREE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INDICTED IN THAT WEIRD EPISODE IN THE CLERK'S OFFENSE.

-- OFFICE.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE HER HERE.

>> AS A YOUNG PERSON LOOKING AT THIS WHO INTENDS TO STUDY POLITICS.

WHAT MESSAGE IS IT SENDING TO YOUR GENERATION?

>> I THINK IT IS SENDING A BAD MESSAGE.

SHE LOST THE ELECTION FAIR AND SQUARE AND IN A LANDSLIDE.

IT SHOWS SOMETHING BROADER THAT THIS OBSESSIVE FOCUS OF QUESTIONING ELECTIONS IS NOT POPULAR.

I HOPE IT IS PART OF A TREND AMONG THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

WE SAW IN THE PRIMARIES REPUBLICANS WERE DOING VERY WELL.

I HOPE THAT CONTINUES TO BE THE CASE.

I HOPE THE PARTY CAN MOVE ON IN 2022 AND FOCUS ON OTHER ISSUES LIKE INFLATION OR SHORTCOMINGS OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

>> TINA AND HER COHORTS ARE GETTING IS THAT DISTRACTING MODERATION FROM THE PARTY?

>> IT IS SORT OF DISPLACING SATIRE.

I DO THINK SHE NEEDS TO ASK HERSELF HOW DO I LOOK IN ORANGE?

THAT WILL BE THE NEW COLOR FOR HER.

CAN SHE SELL MY PILLOW FROM THE CELL.

>> RIGHT ON.

I WILL GETTING A MY PILLOW NOW.

THAT ACTUALLY GOES INTO OUR DISGRACE OF THE WEEK.

SO PATTY, WE WILL START WITH YOU.

>> I WILL MAKE A DISGRACE OF THE LAST TWO DECADES AND PLAY OFF SOMETHING ERIC HAD SAID.

COLORADOANS HAD VOTED FOR TERM LIMITS.

WE HAD THE TWO TERM LIMIT.

WE DECIDED TO OPT OUT AND ALLOW FOR THREE TERMS.

WE CREATED OUR OWN SITUATION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WHERE WE HAVE A MAYOR.

HE HAS ONE MORE YEAR TO GO.

WE ARE SEEING THAT HE SEEMS TIRED OR AT LEAST DISINTERESTED.

THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS THE STATE OF THE CITY FEELS FLAT.

I THINK AND WE ARE CAMPAIGNING WE THINK DENVER CAN GET HIS MOJO BACK.

WHERE HAS THE LEADERSHIP BEEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS DURING THE PANDEMIC TO REALLY SHOW DENVER IS COMING BACK.

SO TERM LIMITS, THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO GET OUR MOJO BACK.

DENVER NEEDS TO GO BACK TO WHAT THE REST OF THE STATE IS OPERATING UNDER.

>> MY DISGRACE OF THE WEEK IS SCHOOL CLOSURE AND THE IMPACTS OF THAT.

UNFORTUNATELY, DO TO DECLINING BIRTHRATE ALONG WITH OTHER FACTORS, WE WILL SEE SEVERAL SCHOOLS CLOSE.

THE BILINGUAL PROGRAMS ARE SO NECESSARY.

I HOPE IF WE DO SEE SOME SCHOOL CLOSE WHICH SEEMS INEVITABLE THAT THEY SUPPORT BILINGUAL SPEAKING.

>> I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO GOVERNOR JARED POLIS.

HE PUTS OUT THIS AD ON TWITTER.

CONSIDERING HIS ANTIBEEF STANCE OF A YEAR AGO.

HE SENDS A PICTURE IT HAS A COW WITH A COW BELL.

THE LAST TIME I SAW A COW WITH THE COW BELL WAS IN PORTUGAL.

IT IS A EUROPE THING.

YOU WILL NOT FIND A SINGLE COW OR STEER WITH A COW BELL HERE IN COLORADO.

THE CAMPAIGN NEEDS LESS COW BELL THAN MORE.

>> ERIC, YOUR DISGRACE.

>> I HAVE TO APPRECIATE PATTY MENTIONING THE LIMIT THING.

SPEAKING OF DENVER WHERE PATTY WAS AND WHERE WE WERE ALL EARLIER.

THE WHOLE ROLLOUT OF THE eBIKE REBATE PROGRAM.

THEY HAVE BEEN ROLLING AVAILABLE CREDIT EVERY FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS OR SO.

THIS ROLLOUT BROUGHT TO MIND WHEN THE ROCKIES WENT TO THE WORLD SERIES AND COMPUTERS WERE OVERRUNNED.

THE OFFICE WAS COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR PRIME TIME.

IF THEY WANT TO LIMIT THE REBATE THAT'S FINE AND THAT IS RATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY.

TAKE IT UP FRONT AND DON'T TAKE IT ON THE BACK END AND HAVE ENOUGH COMPUTER CAPACITY THAT PEOPLE CAN LOG ON AND GET VERIFICATION CODES AND NAVIGATE THE PROCESS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

PATTY, YOUR SAY SOMETHING NICE.

>> FIRST OF ALL TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WATCHED THIS SHOW SO LONG IS GREAT.

ONE OF OUR FANS RICK REYNOLDS HIS WIFE THE FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEMBER HAD THE CHAMBER NAMED AFTER HER.

MUCH DESERVED FOR KATHY.

ANOTHER GREAT HONOR.

TONIGHT DOMINIC DEZZUTTI IS GOING TO BE INDUCTED AND GREAT FOR HIM.

>> WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING NICE.

>> DENVER'S AND AURORA'S EFFORT TO REVITALIZE THE CITY TRAILS.

THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EMPHASIZE ACCESSIBILITY WHICH IS A GREAT THING GOING FORWARD.

I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS GREEN SPACE AND PUT THE CITY FIRST AND KEEPING IT GREEN AND KEEPING IT NICE FOR EVERYONE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

LESS COW BELL MORE WHAT?

HOW ABOUT MORE SCHOOL CHOICE.

I'M GOING TO GIVE IT TO ARIZONA.

THEY EXPANDED THEIR SCHOOL CHOICE.

THEY CAN CHOICE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SCHOOL.

IT IS STILL A GREAT PLAN.

OVERHALF OF THE STATE HAVE SOME KIND OF SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM BE A VOUCHER.

COLORADO HAS NOTHING.

I LOVE THAT AFTER THE LAST SUPREME COURT CASE WE KNOW PRIVATE SCHOOL CHOICE ARE COMPLETELY LEGAL, CONSTITUTIONAL AND NO MORE BARRIERS TO PASSING THEM.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LEGISLATURE GET BUSY.

>> ERIC WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING NICE?

>> WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

LET ME QUICKLY PICK A NUMBER.

DOMINIC DEZZUTTI WHO OCCUPIED THE HOST CHAIR FOR SO LONG.

ALSO SO WELL DESERVED.

THE GROUP OF PR FIRM.

BRAD WAS VERY OPEN ABOUT HIS STRUGGLES OVER THE YEARS.

HE LEFT US ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IS MISSED.

MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

LASTLY SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT AUTOTHEFT.

SHOUTOUT TO DUSTIN WHO IS WANTING TO CRACK DOWN AND GET SERIOUS HOW WE TREAT THOSE.

I'M TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO MAKE A CAREER OF IT.

AND GOOD FOR COUNCILMEN FOR WANTING TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS PLAGUE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THAT IS ALL WE HAVE TIME FOR TONIGHT.

WATCH THIS AND PREVIOUS EPISODE ON BS -- PBS.ORG.

IN THE MEANTIME SEND YOUR INCITES TO CIO@PBS.ORG.

I'M SUMMER.

GOOD NIGHT.
