Special Session Special Episode Special (and "Game of Groans")

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it’s the Special Session Special Episode Special! We break down the politics and a little bit of the policy from this very special session that was called to avoid an absolute fiscal calamity because of something like three schmucks and a checkbook. Also, one of the undisputed champions of legislative nuttery goes totally off the rails as one Republican Politician uses her social media account to go after one of her own kids’ teachers - yikes. Then we catch up on the VERY LONG list of ballot measures Colorado voters will be weighing in on in just a few weeks here; and we discuss a friend of the show’s courageous public struggle with mental health. But first we check in on the Two Colorado Republican Parties that apparently currently exist and we’ll let you know if white or black smoke appears from somewhere in Greenwood Village. That’s it for this episode!
