In this episode, we're joined by Jan Kullman, the mayor of Thornton, who's attending the Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C. She shares updates on her city's efforts to manage water usage due to the state's severe drought. We discuss the city's proactive approach to declaring a drought stage and the importance of community involvement. Jan also talks about her experience at the conference, where she's meeting with fellow mayors and elected officials to discuss pressing issues like homelessness, energy, and public safety. We dive into the city's relationship with the federal government and how they're advocating for their unique needs as a western state.
