…$20, same as downtown.
…I don’t have to outrun the bear, just you.

The legislature should do its damn job and Fix Our Damn Roads instead of playing bait-and-switch with our tax money.

In The Hill, our transportation guru, Randal O’Toole explains why transit is collapsing everywhere.

I’m filling in for Ross Kaminsky for the next week or so as he travels the world. So tune into 630 KHOW at 6:00 AM to hear a night-owl try to talk straight that early.

And tomorrow, hopeful Republican candidate for governor, Doug Robinson, joins me on Devil’s Advocate, 8:30 PM on Channel 12, Colorado Public Television.

Think Freedom,
