2.12.19:Teacher Strike-Low and Zero Emission Vehicle Standards in Colorado-President Oprah

Welcome to the Americhicks podcast. Kim Monson is your host - Agree or disagree, let's have a conversation! Denver public school teachers are on strike. Yesterday an Americhicks listener was in the area where public school teachers were protesting, they recorded some audio and shared it with Kim. Kim shares that audio with you. The graduation rate of the Denver public school is 64.8%. Maybe we should see that rate bump up some before teachers are given the 11% raise they are demanding, which would also come with an increased benefits package. Both former Colorado Governor HIckenlooper and current Governor Polis both have worked to move Colorado towards the California standards concerning low emission and zero emission vehicles. This impacts available options for buyers, as well as the cost of vehicles. By model year 2025 10% the inventory of Colorado automobile dealers must be low and zero emission vehicles. Not meeting this standard will result in the dealer being fined. Tim Jackson President and CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (www.colorado.auto/officers-board-directors/tim-jackson) joins Kim in discussion of this issue. If Oprah ran for President, would she change? Kim will ask Jeffrey Katz and speak with about his new book, The Secret Life (www.tinyurl.com/y4vcendw). ________________________________________________ Copyright 2019: The Americhicks W/Kim Monson Visit us at www.americhicks.com To have someone contact you about advertising on the radio program, the podcast, or the Americhicks website visit:www.americhicks.com/contact and fill out the form.
