  • Great local journalism

    Love the weekly diving into of news mixed with headlines. Great conversations, interesting stories, and it is essential to support truly independent local journalism. I appreciate her approach around not telling folks how to vote or how she votes. But just informs with the facts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Central City Ghost Story
Q: Is there something that like makes Gilpin really stand out and have such a reputation for being a place that's haunted?
Jonas attributes the reputation to the mining era, when accidents were common and people died in traumatic circumstances. She believes some spirits remain because they do not realize they have died.
A Central City Ghost Story
Q: What does it feel like?
Jonas says she felt as though her being was being pulled through her head and body, and that she resisted by shutting down the investigation or mentally standing her ground.
City of Longmont Ballot Issues 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D
Q: Should voters have to decide when the city wants to dispose of open space?
Issue 3B would require voter approval for disposal, including changing an open-space designation. Supporters say this strengthens protections; Shaquille Abilal argues the restriction could block environmental projects such as a local composting facility.
City of Longmont Ballot Issues 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D
Q: Should property and sales taxes be increased to boost the budget and hiring for police and fire?
The proposed tax would raise sales and property taxes to fund 86 public safety and support positions, equipment and facilities. Supporters cite staffing needs and rising service calls, while opponents point to added costs and the scale of the increase.
Town of Erie 3E, 3F and council candidates Plus: Boulder County headlines
Q: Should Erie implement a .501% sales tax and borrow $32.5 million to fund the expansion of the town's community center?
The tax would add about 2.5 cents to a $5 coffee and enable an expansion with new fitness, gym, community-room, childcare and older-adult spaces. The town could spend up to $52.6 million including interest; if the measure fails, the center stays as it is.
