April 14 - Snow in the Forecast

If we are lucky we will get some wet stuff. In the mean time ...

Colorado needs a new budget. It's a moving target and Bell Policy Center President Wade Buchanan gives us an update on what passed the Colorado House, what is good and where are the remaining deficiencies.

We have to talk about this. People of different races and ethnic groups are shooting each other. Incidental or deliberate, the tensions still divide us as communities and as a nation. Former Colorado Speaker Terrance Carroll discusses. Note: We do not conduct trials on ORR - that is for the courts - but the issues are too important to ignore.

Guilt by association in an ideological mashup: Immigrant support group Compañeros is under threat of defunding because they share a partnership with One Colorado. Huh? Right. One Colorado's Brad Clark and Danny Quinlan from the La Plata Unity Project tell us what happened and what to expect.

Getting local. 

Q: If the economy is so bad, haw can anyone ask for a tax increase?

A: It's not bad. In fact it is growing in south Weld County and there is a need for expanded fire protection and rescue services. Fort Lupton Fire Protection District Chief Phil Tiffany explains a pair of ballot measures that will enable folks in the Fort Lupton area to continue counting on the service they expect.
