Oct. 8, 2025: Rep. Jeff Hurd on shutdown, militarizing U.S. cities; New Denver City Librarian on book bans

from Colorado Matters

In Rep. Jeff Hurd's district, which includes Grand Junction and Pueblo, the cost of some health insurance plans is about to be astronomical. But Hurd says the issue shouldn't be used as leverage in the shutdown. We also ask about militarizing U.S. cities and the Epstein files. Then, Denver's new city librarian on the evolution of libraries, from digital literacy to distributing food. Then, why the Biennial of the Americas in Denver is going hyper-local. And Colorado Wonders about the Unaweep Canyon's unique claim to fame.
