Must listen for all CO residents
Everyone in CO needs to listen
Wonderful and important
Time flies by listening to this informative podcast. State legislation makes a much bigger impact on our lives than whatever is happening (or not happening) in DC. These podcasters take a topic that might be intimidating and not only make it accessible, but also fun. Not an easy feat.
So Many Ballot Measures :(
I was excited to see you had an episode on all the Ballot Measures. I wish you would do a more thorough dive into the blue book. Your next episode should be a sit down with a non partisan rep from each side to break it down item by item in laymen’s terms. One problematic example, I read through the Gallagher Amendment and felt lost.
You could call it the blue book study group. It could benefit our state greatly. I hope to see it ASAP.
