THERE'S A DEBATE ON RANKED CHOICE VOTING TONIGHT And I'm going to chat with Nick Troiano about it at 1:30. Two former Secretaries of State have come forward to support Proposition 131 that would change the way we vote in Colorado and one of them is now Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and he wrote about it with Bernie Buescher here. Find out more about the debate tonight by clicking here.
We remember those who lost their lives 23 years ago on this date, in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on American soil.Mayor Mike Coffman sets the record straight on the presence of Venezuelan gang members from Tren de Aragua in Aurora, after President Trump mentioned the city in Tuesday night's debate.
DANIELLE JURINSKY WAS RIGHT When she sounded the alarm about Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, and now Mayor Mike Coffman is admitting it. He had this to say:Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman acknowledged on Thursday that Venezuelan gangs have taken control of several apartment complexes in the northern part of the city in what he called “a nightmare situation.”He also admitted that the city "lost control" of the gang infiltration "and we're working aggressively to get it back." He went on to say that the national media giving the impression that Aurora has been taken over by gangs (which is NOT what Jurinsky said) is giving a "black eye" to the city which I think is why he didn't want to admit it in the first place. I'm sure Mr. Accountability Journalism Kyle Clark will lead Next tonight with an apology to Danielle Jurinsky for trying to make her seem crazy for sounding the alarm. That's how we Colorado, amiright? Even Mayor Mike talked tough about the gangs, but it's sort of like Opie talking tough when he does it. The Governor told the press that the problem shown clearly in the video below was a "feature of Danielle Jurinsky's imagination". It's startling how well Clark and Polis work together to try to paint a Republican woman as "crazy", isn't it? It's almost like they chat over lunch about it.

This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the State Republican Party met to vote on ending its participation in Colorado's open primary…but that failed and they're spending big money on a lawsuit about it anyway. Lauren Boebert gets called out, again, for taking credit for things she actually opposed; she's also very confused about the meaning of sarcasm. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman may have pantsed himself ahead of his re-election effort this November, and Republicans around the country keep burning their hands on the same hot stove, over and over again.

Mayor Mike Coffman joins Dan to discuss how he plans to handle an influx of displaced homeless people sent to Aurora from Douglas County.
Dan jousts with a caller who claims oil companies in Colorado and elsewhere have shut down production of their own accord, because they weren't making enough profit - despite record high gas prices and some of the highest demand for crude oil and natural gas we've seen in decades, and completely ignoring all of the hostility and discouragement from President Biden toward investment of any kind in the fossil fuel industry.

Art Moore of WND joins the show to talk about the failures of the Biden Administration then Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman returns to talk about the fight the Urban Camping Ban and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Citing them as a constant public health hazard, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman explains to Dan his proposal to ban homeless encampments within the city limits - while helping those in need who are living on the streets.
Denver's urban camping ban has been controversial to say the least. Though it has remained popular with a majority of the voting public since it was implemented in 2012, the ban has led to the near-constant sweeping of encampments and displacement of the people living in them. The ban has stoked distrust and exacerbated the precarious nature of life for our unhoused neighbors. So when Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman announced plans earlier this week to propose a similar ban for Colorado's third largest city, it came as a surprise. Today on the show, host Bree Davies, a vocal opponent of Denver's camping ban, sits down with Mayor Coffman to hear how he came to this proposal and how his week-long stint pretending to be homeless back in December informs his approach to Aurora's growing homelessness problem. Mayor Coffman's proposal will need the support of Aurora's City Council, where it has already received some strong criticism. The City of Aurora is currently reviewing a variety of alternative housing options to address their growing homelessness population. Residents are invited to review the options and provide feedback here through May 31: https://engageaurora.org/Homelessness For more on the effects of Denver's camping ban, make sure to listen to our episode from last month with David Gordon, in which he discusses his personal experience living in fear of a sweep: https://pod.link/citycastdenver/episode/36ef60a78752e3b83ba090e2bbc1c40a Looking for a little more City Cast Denver in your mornings?
