1/11/18 review of State of Cities and State of State presentations

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of some 2018 political year initiation presentations in Colorado.

The thread covers the Denver Business Journal's annual State of the Cities panel, which includes mayors from some of Colorado's biggest cities; Governor John Hickenlooper's State of the State address; and Speaker of the House Crisanta Duran's opening remarks to Colorado's House of Representatives.

Some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency is pretty badly affected. My apologies. However, each tweet provides a lot of good info and insight. So I still think it's worth a read.

10/4/17 review of Governor and Cabinet's town hall

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a 2017 town hall given by Colorado's then governor John Hickenlooper and his Cabinet.

The thread gives a bit of context on the town hall, which was mostly a Q&A session. The Q&A was almost totally taken up by a group called Criminal Colorado, which was fighting in 2017 against payroll fraud for construction workers. There were also discussions of the mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, the DREAMers, making a popular presidential election instead of an electoral one, the ending of the CHIP program, and young people getting involved in politics.
