City Cast Denver Polis Backtracks on Migrant Busing, More E-Bike Rebates, and Su Teatro’s Big Win
It’s Tuesday and we’re bringing you a midweek roundup of news across the metro area: As migrants and asylum seekers continue to show up in Denver, things get more complicated — we have the latest on Governor Polis’s recent people-moving plan. Plus, another dude jumps in the race for mayor, e-bike rebates are back, and why Su Teatro is burning their mortgage (it’s for a really good reason, we promise!) To round out the show, we help a listener with her burning question: how do adults make friends in Denver?
Paul mentioned this tweet from mayoral candidate and Western wear enthusiast Kelly Brough.
