DIA Execs Fly First Class, Gov. Polis Does the Math on Rent Algorithms, and Rockies Making History

from City Cast Denver · host City Cast

DIA executives flew first-class to Spain earlier this year and, according to a new investigation from CBS Colorado, the work trip cost about $165,000. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are looking a little closer at the airport’s spending and the big raises Mayor Mike Johnston wants to give his top lieutenants, including DIA CEO Phil Washington. Plus, will Governor Jared Polis veto the big rent algorithm bill that the state legislature passed? We’re tackling all the biggest stories of the week and answering listener questions about speeding enforcement, the Rockies’ historically bad record, and movie soundtracks.  Paul mentioned our interview with Drew Hamrick of the Apartment Association of Metro Denver.  Are you a member of City Cast Denver?
