The day after his "State of the State" speech, Colorado Governor Jared Polis joins me in studio to discuss key issues for our state. (The video of his speech is below and I recommend that you watch it around 1.25x speed or a bit faster...it's about 55 minutes long.)

The governor frequently said "the free state of Colorado". I sure don't see us that way. Sure, we're mostly free on social issues like gay rights and abortion but it sure seems like freedom is losing ground in many other ways.
Speaking of gay rights, I note this: Anita Bryant, pitchwoman who crusaded against gay rights, dies at 84 - The Washington Post
Jared mentioned the Sundance Film Festival a couple of times...I guess it's looking for a new home and Boulder is in the running but do we really need taxpayers to subsidize it? Legislation offers $34 million incentive for Sundance Film Festival
Of course the argument will be that there's a significant economic gain that exceeds the subsidy: 2024 Sundance Film Festival Attendance Recap and Economic Impact Report
