Democrats have once again sent Gov. Polis a union organizing bill he’s almost certain to veto. It’s a showdown that has everything to do with the upcoming election Then, musophobia is the fear of mice, and scatophobia is the fear of feces. What’s in the middle of that Venn diagram? Hantavirus. And bad news: it’s more common in Colorado than most other states. And, we take you all the way to Nepal, without leaving the comfort of our airport. Email us at coloradotoday@cpr.org .
