    Apr 1 2025

    In this episode we jump into a discussion of which state legislative leaders are most aligned with the Colorado Democratic Party and platform.

    We also discuss some of the most important bills that are still moving through the Colorado Legislature including:

  • Colorado's Affordable Housing Shortage - Two Competing Bills Aim to Solve It
    Mar 8 2025

    Colorado's Housing market has a severe shortage of affordable housing; only 5% of new housing construction in recent years has been lower-cost condos and townhomes.

    Homebuilders say the main reason they do not build more affordable housing is issues with construction defects and liability.

    In today's episode, we discuss two competing bills that aim to solve this problem: House Bill 25-1261, sponsored by Rep. Jennifer Bacon, and House Bill 25-1272, sponsored by Rep. Shannon Bird.

    We also discuss compromises that have been found in other states to solve this problem and how those compromises might be applied to these bills, or can these bills be merged.
