In this episode, Deborah Flora sits in for Michael Brown, discussing the importance of critical thinking and informed decision-making in politics. They dive into the topic of Colorado's current state of affairs, from the recent HB 1281 bill that would lower the penalty for murder with extreme indifference to the state's rising crime rates. Deborah also talks to Michael Allen, the district attorney for the 4th Judicial District, about his concerns regarding the bill and the need for a more fiscally responsible approach to governance. The conversation also touches on the upcoming election and the importance of holding politicians accountable.
