Many policy proposals have come and gone without changing much, and now Denver’s newly renamed Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection has a proposal that they say will reduce problems and help businesses. Denver Post reporter Elliott Wenzler has been covering the story, and she’s on with producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love to dig in. Plus, listeners are divided on the proposed REI boycott, and Denver is the seventh nicest smelling city in the country, according to who? Paul referenced our 2021 episode about nightclub owner and self-professed mafia member Valentes Corleons and this BusinessDen story about a nightclub owner who had to cancel his plans. Elliott talked about Denverite’s 2020 smell map. For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
