Are the Broncos Getting a ‘Secret Subsidy’? Plus, a Republican’s Immigration Lie and Polis’ Bridge Flop

Fights over the mayor’s Vibrant Denver bond proposal are heating up, with some transportation advocates and one city council member concerned that the Broncos’ stadium plans could be impacting who gets the biggest piece of the $935 million dollar pie. Then, Congressman Gave Evans has been a champion of President Trump’s immigration crackdown. But a new investigation from Colorado Newsline revealed a surprising truth behind the legislator’s claims that his family immigrated to the U.S. “the right way.” Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by my musician, artist, and activist Kalyn Heffernan to dig into these stories plus our wins and fails of the week. 

Paul mentioned the new Denver National Women’s Soccer League name and logo and Kyle Clark’s crusade against Polis’ bridge succeeding. Bree talked about Rupp’s Drums closing, a realtor’s claims that Barnum is “rapidly gentrifying,” and UMS partnering with Keep the Party Safe for harm reduction training. Kalyn talked about her Untitled: Artist Takeover show tonight (Friday, July 25) at the Denver Art Museum and the potential end of the UMS.
