Description

This week, we discuss the Grand Junction City Council’s move to ban fireworks sales due to this year’s extreme drought conditions in a disquieting 4-3 vote, despite the fire chief’s recommendation in favor of a ban, the mechanisms behind the Opportunity Zone program that invests in depressed areas across the nation, and the major drawbacks of popular prediction markets, which are fueling gambling addictions among young men, denying states a reliable funding source, and leading to questions about how these markets could detrimentally mold public policy and government actions. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This week, we look at the results of the state’s June primary, which included several upsets, including GOP nominee Victor Marx’s win over seasoned politician Barbara Kirkmeyer in the GOP gubernatorial race; the tragic loss of three firefighters in what eventually blew up into the Snyder Fire, and the unfortunate, incorrect reporting by The Sentinel of the circumstances in the early hours of the blaze; and the irony of Governor Polis sacking two members of the clemency board after they exercised their free speech defending their votes against grant ing Tina Peters clemency in New York Times comments and a Denver Post op-ed. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

This week, we explore the suspicious release of more water project funding for Colorado - this time for the critical Shoshone water rights purchase - after Gov. Jared Polis granted former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters clemency, the pros and cons of the editorial board endorsing political candidates and the possibility the Sentinel could make a negative endorsement in the Republican primary in Colorado’s gubernatorial race, and the increasing extremism on both ends of the political spectrum and its connection to the “law of group polarization,” as introduced to us by NY Times columnis David French, who addressed a local audience in an event last week hosted by Restore the Balance. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
