An Activist Turns Legislator, Micro-Communities are Coming, and More for Our Visitors Guide

Host Bree Davies and state politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval are breaking down all the local stories that matter this week — starting with a Democratic committee appointing Tim Hernández to the vacated 4th house district seat and Justine digs into what the appointment of a Chicano community activist says the current Colorado democratic party. Then, Bree talks about the list of 11 possible locations for short term housing that the Johnston Administration released a few days ago. Plus, we share your takes on the best way to get to the airport and what we left out on our visitor’s guide.

Justine mentioned DPS’s current day segregation issues, which Chalkbeat covered this summer; Bree talked about the neighbors’ lawsuit against the Park Hill United Methodist Church in 2021 for hosting a Safe Outdoor Space.
