Dark Money in the Gov’s Race, Ski Strike Fallout, and a Surprising New Trump Lawsuit Against CO
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
New campaign finance reports just released show a combined $9 million coming in for both Senator Michael Bennet and Attorney General Phil Weiser’s gubernatorial campaigns. But where all that money is flowing from is a little murky. David Sirota, editor in chief of The Lever, joins host Bree Davies to dig into the dark money dirt, as well as President Trump’s recent meddling in Colorado’s attempt to cap credit card interest rates and the financial fallout from the recent Telluride ski patrol strike. Bree mentioned a post from the ski blog Peak Rankings and The Lever’s excellent podcast and newly released book, Master Plan. Sirota talked about the Clean Campaign Act of 2019. What do you think about Sirota’s dark money loophole proposal? Should legislators close it? We want to hear from you!
