Will Gov. Polis Free Tina Peters? Plus, Why Civic Center Park Needs a Taco Bell Cantina

Earlier this week, Governor Jared Polis made a post on X comparing the sentences of former Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis and former county clerk Tina Peters, both of whom have been convicted of attempting to influence a public official, among other charges. Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love are joined by comedian Kate McLachlan to dig into what Polis is – or isn’t saying – about President Trump’s calls to pardon Peters. Plus, they discuss the city’s plans to host a restaurant inside the McNichols Civic Center Building and pitch their dream eateries for this parkside spot.  After our recording, Sen. Michael Bennet made a post on X about his position on clemency for Tina Peters.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
