Shownotes

We review both the good news and the challenges shared by Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade in his recent State of the City address. We also congratulate Mayor Yemi for shaking up the tradition of Springs mayors delivering State of the City addresses exclusively at high-dollar business lunches or breakfasts.

Candidate and Ballot Issues Forums: 

Plug into what’s happening in the Pikes Peak region, learn about awesome people, places and happenings, and explore opportunities to make life here even better. Local gadflies Al Brody and Dave Gardner love our two springs – Colorado and Manitou, so they give them the mic in this twice-monthly podcast. Nothing’s off the table – recreation, the arts, government, business, politics – if it touches your life, they'll talk about it. We’ll invite the movers and shakers, conspiracy theorists, NIMBYs, YIMBYs, yaysayers and naysayers to join them.
