It's Friday, and Mandy Connell is kicking off the weekend with a bang! In this episode, she dives into a heated discussion about the proposed Initiative 1.5, which aims to dedicate more money to Colorado's roads. But, as Mandy points out, it's not just about the roads - it's about the politicians' intentions and the voters' rights. She's joined by Tony Milo, the President and CEO of the Colorado Contractors Association, who explains the initiative and its potential impact on the state's infrastructure.

Mandy and Tony discuss the current state of Colorado's roads, which are in dire need of repair. They also touch on the recent bill, HB 26.14.30, which would reduce funding for roads if Initiative 175 passes. Mandy shares her concerns about the bill and its potential consequences, and Tony explains how the initiative would work and its benefits. The conversation is informative, engaging, and thought-provoking, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in Colorado politics and infrastructure.

But that's not all - Mandy also talks about her recent experience with a comedian, Brian Posehn, who was awkward during their interview. She shares some hilarious stories about their conversation and how it went off the rails. And, as always, she takes listener questions and shares her thoughts on various topics, from the Pontiac Aztec to the importance of hunting and fishing in Colorado. Willie B makes an appearance to talk about the ugly Aztec.

THE LEGISLATURE WANTS OUR ROADS TO SUCK That is the only conclusion I can draw from House Bill 26-1430, passed at the end of the session, whose sole purpose is to screw taxpayers who have the nerve to vote for Initiative 175. What is 175?

Initiative 175 would constitutionally require a shift of transportation taxes Coloradans already pay on cars, tires, and gas to fund roads and bridges. Instead of this money disappearing into the general fund to pay for whatever shortfall the state faces each budget year, the money generated from motor vehicles would go to roads.

That is what we all probably think is happening already, but no. The Democratically controlled body raids transportation funds FIRST to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens or boob jobs for dudes who think they are women. But here’s where it gets good, and by good I mean you’re not going to believe this crap. The legislature is SO MAD that we may force them to spend the taxes and fees they told us would be spent on roads ACTUALLY ON ROADS, they passed HB 26-1430. What does that do? It literally CUTS THE TAXES so there will be no money for roads, and it ONLY does so if 175 passes. These aholes sponsored this bill. Shoot them a polite email and tell them how little you appreciate their giant middle finger to voters:
