AS CHERRY CREEK SCHOOLS TURNS: A REVIEW Molly Lamar is a parent and former school board candidate for Cherry Creek Schools and I'm just saying that if she had been elected instead of the union backed candidate this would be a much different conversation. The District is in a shambles, with much of the leadership on the way out the door to fat and happy retirements instead of being held to account for years of mismanagement and toxic work environments. Molly joins me today at 1, and if you've got a kid in Cherry Creek Schools for the love of God pay attention and get involved, your district is freaking falling apart. Many are waking up after the Board paid an outgoing troublemaker 200k while announcing layoffs of 150 people. The Denver Post did a scorcher of an editorial on it today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JOHN BROOKS WANTS TO BE ON THE BALLOT And I'm going to be honest when I tell you John very much impressed me in his first visit, along with many of my listeners. He joins me today at 12:30 and I genuinely hope the assembly voters move him through to the ballot.

This is NOT an endorsement, just a hope that he gets the chance to make his case in the primaries. Find out more about him by clicking here.
