## Resource

Gov. Jared Polis has been the talk of the town since he commuted the sentence of noted 2020 election denier and former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, and he’s handling all the attention the way only he could – trolling the press, sticking to his guns, and finding some time for a very jovial bill-signing on an RTD bus. City Cast Denver’s reigning Hater of the Year Adrian Felix and HD5 candidate Sterling Simms join producer Paul Karolyi to get into the weeds of that big RTD reform bill and dissect all Polis’ latest antics. Plus, one of the most highly anticipated performers at Denver PrideFest is “breaking her silence” about a legal dispute with one of Denver’s favorite clothing brands; Sterling addresses his opponent (aka, green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval); and all our wins and fails of the week. That’s not all! If you’re a City Cast Denver Neighbor, you’ll also get a bonus segment where we respond to some very fun listener comments and questions about DIA’s new plan to divert waylaid travelers into its infamous underground tunnels. Paul mentioned Pattie Gonia’s online merch store, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s comments about sanctuary cities, and Elijah Wood’s vaguely Lord of the Rings-themed DJ sets this weekend. Sterling talked about his campaign for HD5 and Colorado’s latest PIRG report on clean energy. Adrian discussed a clip of his costume on our Instagram last Halloween, Denver Water’s new anonymous reporting form, and the photos of State Sen. Matt Ball and Polis at the RTD bill signing.
