The Last UMS Ever (Maybe), Trump Targets Denver (Again), and Casa Bonita Owners in the News (Duh)

President Trump turned his attention to Denver once again last week, with a new executive order meant to end “crime and disorder on America’s streets.” So what will the new order mean for Denverites? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are sorting through the details. Then, Bree spent the weekend talking to music lovers and industry types at the Underground Music Showcase. Will it be the last? Plus, Casa Bonita’s owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker got caught up in a big national political media scandal last week, so what will it mean for your sopaipillas? And finally, your questions and comments about some recent episodes.

Paul mentioned our interview yesterday with Mayor Mike Johnston, in which he addressed possible city support for UMS. We discussed the UMS owners’ announcement a few weeks ago that this would be the last year “in its current form.” Check out Westword and Denverite for more coverage of Trump’s new executive order.
