Governor Jared Polis in Studio Talking about the Legislative Session

Governor Jared Polis joins me in studio at 11 AM to talk about the legislative session. What bills he was happiest to sign, what he has vetoed, what he hasn't decided about. Will there be a special session? We'll take a few listener questions by text.

I'm grateful to the governor for vetoing SB5 (as he said he would), a bill that was pushed by labor unions to try to make it easier to make Coloradans have to fund labor unions as a condition of employment. He also vetoed a bill that would let people 70 years of age or older opt out of jury service: Governor Polis Signs Bills into Law, Takes Action on Bills | Colorado Governor Jared Polis

One issue: Gov Polis wants much more houses that normal people can afford and is supporting regulatory changes he thinks will achieve that but some municipalities aren't going along:
