Who’s at Risk of E. coli? Plus, Blatant Election Lies and KroenkeTown Here We Come!
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
It’s Friday, and we’re rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First, an E. coli outbreak linked to Quarter Pounders at McDonald’s led to one death in Mesa County, dozens more with grisly symptoms, and lots of questions about Colorado’s unique relationship with food safety. Plus, Denver Post reporter Joe Rubino takes host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi inside City Council’s vote green-lighting local billionaire Stan Kroenke’s plan to build a whole new downtown neighborhood in the parking lots around Ball Arena. Finally, we share our wins and fails of the week. Bree talked about podcast episode about Super Size Me from Maintenance Phase and The Sporkful, as well as the Denver Voice and political misinformation in the form of a text message. Paul talked about The Ginger Pig, our episode on DOTI’s decision to roll back plans for a protected bike lane, and this op-ed by Governor Jared Polis on “food freedom.” What do you think about McDonald’s rough week? Is it going to affect how you vote?
