>> HI, I'M KYLE DYER, AND WELCOME TO COLORADO INSIDE OUT ON THIS FEBRUARY 17TH.

WE ARE SIX WEEKS INTO OUR LEGISLATIVE SESSION WHICH IS HEAVILY CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS THIS TIME AROUND.

WE WANT TO TAKE SOME IDEAS HAVE TAKEN ON SOME STEAM.

PATTY CALHOUN FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF WESTWARD.

GEORGE BRAUCHLER.

WE HAVE JESSE PAUL AS WELL AS SUMMER MEADOWS.

>> I KNOW THIS SHOW IS ABOUT ALL COLORADO.

WHILE A HIGH SCHOOLER IS SHOT ALEGENDLY BY OTHER TEENAGERS HOW CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT THIS.

MAKING COLORADO SAFER IS A TOP PRIORITY.

>> LET'S ADMIT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ARE NOT LIMITED TO URBAN AREAS.

THEY ARE RARELY IN URBAN AREAS.

THIS HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF EAST HIGH SCHOOL.

WE FOUND OUT HE IS A MEMBER OF THE SOCCER TEAM.

HE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE IN A CAR, OUTSIDE SCHOOL WHEN HE WAS SHOT FROM THIS CAR.

WE KNOW OF TWO OTHER TEENAGERS ARE IN CUSTODY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL BE CHARGED WITH.

EAST HIGH SCHOOL THEY HAVE BEEN CAREFUL.

THEY HAVE NOT MANY OTHER INCIDENTS.

WE HAVE SHOOTINGS FROM THE SUBURBS, SHOOTINGS IN AURORA.

EAST HIGH IS CAREFUL WITH THEIR KIDS.

THEY KNOW THEY ARE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING ABOUT GUNS.

WE ARE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT INNER CITIES.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE.

>> THERE WERE A LOT OF SHOOTINGS AT SCHOOL.

WHEN YOU HEAR IT, SO CLOSE TO HOME.

GEORGE?

>> I HAVE TWO KIDS IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW.

I CAN'T ENVISION HAVE BEEN TO TAKE THAT ON AS A PARENT AND WONDER I DON'T NOT ONLY HAVE TO WORRY IF THERE WILL BE A SHOOTER.

WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IT INCLUDES UNIVERSAL OFFENDERS.

THE PROLIFERATION IT IS JUST ONE WORD.

IT IS SOMETHING WE GOT TO CONTENT WITH.

GUNS ARE SO EASY TO GET BY THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT GET THEM.

>> JESSE YOU ARE IN THE STATE HOUSE EVERY DAY.

>> DEMOCRATS SAID THEY WANT TO PUSH THROUGH A SLATE OF MEASURES.

THE REASON, AGE FOR PURCHASES.

GUNS, RIFLES, HANDGUNS MAKING EASIER TO SUE GUN MANUFACTURES.

THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD BILL THAT WILL CREATE A SPACE WHEN YOU CAN PURCHASE WEAPONS AND ACCESS IT.

THERE IS ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL SEE THAT ONE.

WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY CAN GET GOVERNOR JARED POLIS ON BOARD.

>> SUMMER?

>> I MEAN, THIS IS AN INTERESTING TOPIC BECAUSE I'M A CHICAGOAN BORN AND RAISED.

THE WAY I SEE GUN VIOLENCE IS VERY DIFFERENT.

REALLY STATISTICALLY REPORTING THAT CRIME ACROSS THE STATE IS DOWN BY 500 INSTANCES FROM 2021-2022.

SO, I THINK, THAT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHAT IS UP IS NOT CONSENSUAL SEXUAL ASSAULT.

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THAT 15% RISE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PERPETRATORS ALSO.

I WANT TO ALERT PEOPLE WE REALLY DO HAVE A SEXUAL ASSAULT ISSUE IN COLORADO.

>> THANKS FOR BRINGING IT UP AS WELL.

SOME OF THE LAWMAKERS ARE CHALLENGING GOVERNOR POLIS.

>> IT IS AN INTERESTING ONE.

YOU HAVE BIPARTISAN ON SESSION AND BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR THAT BILL.

I THINK THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT WE WILL SEE IS THE GOVERNOR WILL START TO FEEL, I BELIEVE THIS.

HE HAS EYES ON THE PRIZE.

THE THINGS HE WILL CONSIDER NOT HOW THEY PLAY HERE IN THE STATE BUT HOW THEY PLAY IN A NATIONAL DISCUSSION.

I THINK THAT WILL CHANGE.

I THINK THE LEGISLATURE MAY OFFER HIM SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO USE THAT VETO PEN AND LOOK LIKE THAT MODERATE STRONG LEADER LOOKING OUT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF COLORADO.

I THINK THAT IS POSSIBLE.

>> YOU ARE THERE EVERY DAY.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING JESSE.

>> THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME.

I'VE BEEN GOVERNMENT FOR YEARS.

PART OF THE POLITICAL CONTEXT UNDER WHICH HE IS DEBATING TO SIGN BILLS OR VETO THEM.

THERE IS A TON OF LEGISLATION TALKING ABOUT PEPPERING HIM WITH.

HE HAS EXPRESSED DISCONTENT WITH.

I THINK IT IS FASCINATING.

OVER THE PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS A LOT OF LEGISLATION DOESN'T GET USED TO AVOID HAVING THAT CLASH BETWEEN THEM.

I MENTIONED THE ASSAULT WEAPONS BILL.

THERE IS SOME CLASHING.

THERE WAS INTRODUCTION OF A BILL, THIS WOULD BE A LOCATION PEOPLE COULD USE DRUGS.

THE GOVERNOR HAS SAID I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS.

THEY ARE PUSHING FORWARD WITH IT ANY WAY.

THEY ARE GETTING A LITTLE MORE BOLD.

>> SUMMER AND I WERE TALKING IT EARLIER.

YOU WOULDN'T CALL THIS GROUP OF DEMOCRATS PROGRESSIVE.

>> I THINK THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE.

A GROUP OF PEOPLE LEARNING FROM PAST MISTAKES AND WILLING TO PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE BECAUSE THEY SEE THE 20-YEAR MARK.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ABSENT FROM OUR POLICY MAKING.

WHEN WE DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT NOW LOOKS LIKE IN 20 YEARS.

WE DON'T LEGISLATE FROM THAT PLACE.

WE ONLY LEGISLATE FROM ONE YEAR OR TO THE NEXT ELECTION WE GET OURSELVES IN TROUBLE.

WE DON'T HAVE -- WE NO LONGER HAVE IN COLORADO THE GRACE PERIOD TO DO THAT, TO IGNORE THINGS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

WE ARE GROWING MORE SLOWLY NOW THAN WE DID IN 1990 AS A STATE.

IT DOES GIVE US A CHANCE FOR OUR POPULATION TO STOP INCREASING.

WE HAVE TO HAVE LONG-TERM VISION HERE.

>> PATTY, THE GOVERNOR HAS A LONG-TERM VISION HE SAYS HE DOES.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WAIT A SECOND ON THAT.

>> WE FORGET HOW LONG POLIS HAS BEEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE SINCE HE RAN FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

I JUST HAPPENED TO TURN ON CNN.

THERE WAS JARED POLIS.

I WOULDN'T SAY HE LOOKED PRESIDENTIAL.

HE WASN'T CALLED TO SPEAK ON THAT.

THEY HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

HE IS GOOD ON HIS FEET WHEN HE IS SPEAKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU MAY RECALL THE DAYS GQ SAID HE WAS THE WORST DRESSED CONGRESSMEN.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS SECOND TERM THE WAY THEY WERE SEGUEING.

HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE NOT TO TEST IT OUT BUT BECAUSE GOVERNORS WERE MEETING THERE.

I THINK HE DOES TAKE A FAIRLY LONG-TERM VIEW OF COLORADO.

I THINK IN THE SHORT-TERM, HE HAS SOME TOUGH THINGS TO HANDLE WITH LEGISLATURE WITH BILLS HE WILL NOT LIKE.

>> DO YOU THINK HE WILL GET CONTENTIOUS?

>> IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY VOTERS ARE LOOKING FOR A PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE.

THAT COULD HELP HIM IN GENERAL BUT HURT HIM IN THE PRIMARY.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS GOING TO RUN.

IF HE DOES, THINGS GET SHAKEN UP.

>> THERE IS A PLAN FLOATING OUT THIS SESSION THAT CALLS FOR BIG CHANGES TO COLORADO'S PRIMARY ELECTION PROCESS.

SENATE BILL 101.

YOU DOVE DEEP INTO 101.

TALKING WITH THE BIG NAME COLORADOAN WHO IS BACKING THIS.

>> SUPPORT MILLIONS INTO DEMOCRACY RELATED IN RECENT YEARS.

IT IS PROBABLY GOING TO GO DOWN IN FLAMES.

IT IS INTERESTING GETTING RID OF IT MAKING CANDIDATES CAN GATHER SIGNATURES AND GET ON THE BALLOT.

HOW THINGS ARE DONE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHICH YOU HAVE SEEN A LOT OF EMPHASIS IN RECENT YEARS.

HE IS LOOKING TO MAYBE CHANGE UP HOW THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY IS DONE IN COLORADO.

PEOPLE MIGHT REMEMBER THERE WERE CANDIDATES WHO DROPPED OUT WHEN BALLOTS ARRIVED.

MR.

THEORY WAS LOOKING AT WAYS TO FIX THAT.

EVEN IF THE LEGISLATURE DOESN'T ACT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO GET BALLOT MEASURES LIKE THIS ON THE BALLOTS FOR VOTERS, LET VOTERS DECIDE.

EVEN IF WE DON'T GET ANYTHING DONE AT THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR.

VOTERS MIGHT BE GETTING THIS DONE IN 2024.

>> IT WOULD BE A HUGE CHANGE.

>> IT WOULD BE AN INCREDIBLE CHANGE.

I THINK IT IS A REALITY CHECK.

IT IS ABOUT LOOKING AT THE WAY WE HAVE DONE THINGS IN THE PAST.

EVEN ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL WHEN YOU LOOK AT JOE BIDEN AT OUR CAUCUS POINT, YOU HAVE TO KNOW I IOWANS.

WE ARE IN THE AREA OF BLACK LIVES MATTER.

WE ARE IN THE ERA FOR GOOD OR ILL WHAT IS WOKNESS, WHAT IS AWARENESS.

WHEN YOU DO THAT YOU HAVE TO EVALUATE HOW YOU BRING THE CREAM TO THE TOP.

IT IS JUST TIME.

I'M WITH REEVALUATING HOW WE DO THIS.

I THINK COLORADO CAN BE A TRAIL BLAZER LIKE WE ALWAYS ARE.

>> HE HAS PUSHED THOSE BALLOT MEASURES.

WE HAVE FAIRLY FAIR REDISTRICT WE ARE GOING TO NOW.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING ISSUE.

WHEN YOU HAVE MORE THAN A THIRD OF COLORADO'S VOTERS UNAFFILIATED.

WHEN YOU ARE STUCK WITH PRIMARIES.

THEY CAN CHOOSE ONE OF THOSE TO VOTE IN.

WHY NOT MAKE IT MORE OPEN IN IF MORE THAN OF THE COLORADOANS DON'T IDENTIFY WITH EITHER PARTY, SHOULDN'T IT BE EASIER TO GET CANDIDATES FROM THOSE TWO PARTIES AND THE OTHER MINORITY.

GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH MONEY IF THEY GOT AN EARLY START.

IF THE PROPOSAL COMES OUT RIGHT WHO YOU GET TO SIGN, THIS COULD LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD NOT FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS FOR ANY CANDIDATE THAT WANTS TO RUN.

>> THE BILL IS GOING TO GO THE WAY IT DID YOU HAVE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS WE DON'T WANT CHANGES.

YOU NOW HAVE TWO CAMPS FIGHTING TO DO THE OPPOSITE THING.

WITH THE 75% OF THE VOTE THEY CAN DO JUST THAT COMING UP IN THE NEXT YEAR.

IF THEY DO THAT, THERE IS NO PRIMARY.

DECIDE WHO THE NOMINEES WILL BE AND LITTLE COUNTY CAUCUSES THAT DECIDE DA AND SHERIFF AND COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU HAVE SENATOR KIRK MEYER LET'S DO PRIMARY ONLY.

PEOPLE HAVE TO GO OUT OF POCKET TO GET THEM.

I HAD THE SENATOR ON THE RADIO AND SHE SAID SHE DISAGREES.

I MET MORE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET SIGNATURES THAN I DID TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE SMALL PROCESS.

I THINK HE ULTIMATE GOAL, I DO BELIEVE THIS IS TO MODERATE CANDIDATES.

HE WANTS TO FIGURE OUT TO KEEP THE EXTREMES FROM DOMINATING THE BALLOT.

THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS TO ELIMINATE THE CAUCUS SYSTEM.

I THINK THE OTHER SUPER NO VEL THING IS WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IF ALL THE PARTIES ARE MISSING FROM IT.

>> I HEARD THE RANK CHOICE VOTING.

>> THERE IS A CHANCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ENOUGH SUPPORT TO GET THAT PASSED.

I THINK THAT LOCAL ELECTION OFFICIALS ARE FREAKED OUT ABOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THINGS SO QUICKLY BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

I THINK IT WILL TAKE A FEW YEARS.

CERTAINLY THERE IS A LOT OF TALK.

>> OUR GOVERNOR IS REALLY TRYING TO SET A PLAN, YOU SEE THESE HEAD LINES THIS WEEK THAT $3 BILLION IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT TO RETROFIT THEIR BUILDINGS FROM GAS TO ELECTRIC.

>> IT IS HUGE RIGHT NOW.

EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THEIR OVEN LIKE IT IS SATAN.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT IN TERMS OF THE NECESSITIES WE DO HAVE TO GET AHEAD OF IT.

WE ARE LOOKING AT LIKE THE REEVALUATION OF THE COLORADO RIVER PACT.

WHEN WE THINK HYPERLOCAL ISSUES LIKE CREATING A NEW GOLF COURSE.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR CITIES ACROSS COLORADO.

WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE FOR DEVELOPERS.

IF WE HAVE TO MAKE THESE INVESTMENTS IT IS NOW OR NEVER.

IT WILL NOT GOING AWAY.

>> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE THAT WILL GO IN FRONT OF THE DENVER VOTERS.

DO WE DO HOUSING OR GOLF COURSE?

>> IT IS NOT A GOLF COURSE.

IT IS 155 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE WHICH SOME PROPONENTS WANT TO KEEP IT.

EVEN OPEN SPACE AND PARK LAND DOES NEED SOME WATER.

WHERE DO WE WANT TO USE WATER WHICH IS A APPRECIATION RID RESOURCE.

YOU HAVE TO FIGHT TO HAVE A GOLF COURSE.

USE SOME LIQUID ASSETS TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH.

WE ARE AWARE WHAT A TRICKY RESOURCE THAT IS.

ENERGY AND GAS.

I LOOK AT MY GAS STOVE WHICH DOESN'T WORK.

I CAN'T GET THE NEW PART.

I'M BEING VERY CONSCIOUS.

WHO CAN AFFORD TO GET NEW APPLIANCES.

THEY WILL GET STUCK PAYING THOSE BILLS.

THEY NEED HELP TO PAY THOSE BILLS.

SO MANY TRICKY THINGS.

WE HAVE TO START PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE LOOKING 20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE WITH WATER, WITH POWER.

>> GEORGE?

>> ARE YOU USING THE GEORGE FORMAN GRILL?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

>> GOING TO MOM'S.

>> THE RULE MAKING WAS ANTICIPATED THEY INTENDED TO EMPOWER PEOPLE TO MAKE THESE CHANGES.

$3 MILLION IS REAL DOLLARS.

THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY.

THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE TIMING OF IT THIS HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.

WHEN YOU PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT USING HIS INSIDE VOICE WE ARE STILL GOING TO NEED FOSSIL FUELS YOU GET THERE IS A LEGITIMATE WAR THAT CAN AFFORD THAT INCREASE AND ENERGY COST THE LEAST.

WHEN I SEE THE COST OF THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER.

IT IS NO SHOCK TO ME PEOPLE ARE RETHINKING THE STEPS INTO THE CITY.

I THINK IT IS A WORRY.

>> IN TERMS OF PEOPLE COMING BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> DO WE SCARE PEOPLE AWAY?

>> WHAT IS INTERESTING THAT THE GOVERNOR TALKED ABOUT THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE DOWN ENERGY COSTS IS TO GO TO FULLY ELECTRIC.

WHEN YOU TALK TO UTILITIES THAT IS NOT IN THE IMMEDIATE HORIZON.

THE LEGISLATURE TAKING A LOOK TO REDUCE GAS EMISSION THIS YEAR TO INSHINE SOME OF THE GOALS THE GOVERNOR WANTS TO ACCOMPLISH IN LAW.

ONE WOULD REQUIRE HOME WARRANTY, PROGRAMS, OR BUSINESSES TO LET YOU REPLACE YOUR GAS EQUIPMENT WITH ELECTRIC ONES.

THERE IS A LOT OF PUSH BACK FROM REPUBLICANS EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO MANDATE INVOLVED.

JUST HOW THESE THINGS ARE.

DIFFERENT PARTS OF COLORADO USE ENERGY SOURCES.

THERE IS A LOT OF ANXIETY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

CERTAINLY HAD A LOT OF PUSH BACK.

>> LET'S GO AROUND THE TABLE AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE GOOD THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK.

SOME OF THE BAD.

WE WILL START WITH YOU.

>> YOU HEARD SOME DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS.

IF YOU ARE A MAYORAL CANDIDATE YOU HAVE TO BE IN TWO OFFICIAL DEBATES.

THE ONE DISTRICT NINE WAS SET ON MONDAY DURING A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

IT WAS AT THE DANCE STUDIO.

HE IS WHEELCHAIR BOUND.

THE FACT HE HAD TO LEAVE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING IF HE WAS GOING TO GET HIS ELECTION FUNDING AND HAD TO CRAWL ON TO THE STAGE IS A BAD LOOK FOR THE CITY AND IT WENT NATIONAL.

>> JUST TO PIGGY BACK ON THAT.

THAT STORY INFURIATING ME AS A FATHER.

THE BAD NEWS FOR ME WAS WHEN I HAD TO FILL UP GAS TO BUY EGGS.

THOSE TWO EVENTS CAUSED ME TO USE PROFANITY.

>> I HAD TO TALK ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE.

I MISS THAT GOLF COURSE.

IT WAS THE ONE I COULD GET A DECENT SCORE IN.

I NEED THAT EGOBOOST BACK.

>> DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND SEE THE BALLS ON THE ROAD.

>> I GO WITH THE PARK HILL GOLF COURSE AS WELL.

WE HAVE HAD STUDIES DONE AND FOR WHATEVER REASON THOSE STUDIES ARE NOT INCREDIBLE WHAT THE FOLKS AROUND THAT AREA REALLY DO WANT FOR THAT GOLF COURSE DELIVERED OR DEVELOPED.

I DO THINK IT IS INEVITABLE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO IT.

THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.

I'M JUST SADDEN THAT WE PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE HERE.

WE ARE SENDING THIS THING TO THE BALLOT FOR YES OR KNOW ON THE REMOVAL OF MAINTAINING IT, THIS PIECE OF LAND.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S PERMEATING PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE.

THE RESIDENTS HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN POLLED.

>> EVERYONE ELSE WILL BE DECIDING FOR THEM.

PATTY?

>> DIA WILL GET NEW ART.

DIA FROM THE START PART OF THE ONE PERCENT.

ONE PERCENT HAVE BOUGHT ALL THE ART.

WATCH OVER THE BAGGAGE AREA.

AND THEY JUST APPROVED THREE MORE PIECES.

ONE PIECE OF ART IS ORIGINAL COMMISSION IS THE TRAIN NOISE.

AND THE TRAIN MESSAGE.

THE MUSIC AND THE MESSAGE.

THEY JUST CHANGED THE MESSAGE ALERTING PASSENGERS THEY ARE GOING INTO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND TO BE PATIENT.

I WONDERED FOR YEARS WHY WE DIDN'T DO THIS.

GOOD FOR THE CITY AND AIRPORT FOR TRUTH ADVERTISING.

>> THE LITTLE JINGLE.

>> SO WAS THE MESSAGE.

YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ARTIST DO IT.

>> THE GOOD NEWS WAS THIS BIPARTISAN GROUP OF DISTRICT ATTORNEYS A PROGRAM OUT OF DU TO LOOK AT DEMOCRATIC NUMBERS AND THE IMPACT OF THE PROSECUTION DECISIONS.

A REPORT ROLLED OUT YESTERDAY.

IT TALKS ABOUT THERE ARE DISCREPANCIES.

I THINK IT IS POSITIVE.

>> WHAT IS SOMETHING GOOD THAT HAPPENED?

>> I'M EXCITED TO WATCH THE ROCKIES LOSE AGAIN.

>> IT IS A GOOD THING.

IT MEANS THAT SPRING IS ON THE WAY SOMETIME.

>> THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND MY FIANCE.

PLEASE DON'T TURN ON BORING BASEBALL.

I'M A HATER.

I THINK FOR ME THE GOOD IS THE UNVEILING THROUGH THE DENVER OFFICE.

I THINK IT IS A REALLY INNOVATIVE THING TO USE.

MONEY THAT WE TAXED FROM MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES TO SMALL BUSINESSES.

I'M LOOKING TO SEE HOW THAT MONEY GETS DISPERSED.

>> DO YOU KNOW HOW THEY WILL DO THAT?

>> NO.

I THINK THEY ARE IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES OF GATHERING BUSINESSES AND VETTING THEM TO BE PART OF THAT -- >> MOVING FORWARD.

THANKS YOU ALL FOR COMING TONIGHT.

GEORGE ESPECIALLY.

WE APPRECIATE YOU TUNING IN.
