The day after the Democratic Primary, we discuss surprises and takeaways. Also, what would we do in case of a coronavirus outbreak at the Capitol? This week on The SmartAlec Podcast, maybe the most important vote I've ever been a part of: repealing the death penalty in Colorado. Also on the docket, the hiccups in paid family leave legislation and more clarity around the public option. The Get More Smarter gang and I talk hate and discrimination at the CO Capitol. While these anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice bills won't make it out of committee, its important to know what kinds of legislation the Dems are fending off. This is why majorities matter! This week on the SmartAlec and Get More Smarter partnership podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of caucuses, updates on the bills moving through the Capitol and the pressure of calling snow days.
This week the Get More Smarter team and I discuss hot button issues at the Capitol: the death penalty, health care and puppy mills. Also, I weigh in on which team to bet on this Sunday for your best chance at making a few bucks.
