Anti-Flock Rage Boils Over, the Denver Post’s Unpaid Bills, the ‘King of Park Hill’ Is Arrested

In a shocking and ironic revelation, CBS revealed this week that the Denver Post owes the City of Denver around $2 million in unpaid rent on its lease in the Denver Post building at Colfax and Broadway. So, how will that affect the mayor’s budget negotiations and the $200 million shortfall the city is dealing with? Then, unnamed business owners told the Denver Gazette that bicycle activists had been terrorizing them both in person and online, but who are these anonymous voices? Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are joined by politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval to dig into the City of Denver’s landlord headache, more bicycle drama, Flock surveillance, and wins and fails of the week. 

Bree talked about her interview with Clerk and Recorder Paul López, DoBetterDNVR’s post about Harm Reduction Action Center, and the Buntport Theater. Paul mentioned the Chauncey Billups’ indictment and photographer Drew Kartos’ reflections on the ‘No Kings’ viral moment. Justine discussed the latest drama with Raíces Brewing and the Broncos epic win.
