April 9, 2025: CO furniture mogul on tariffs, bus driver raises, sheriff's deputy not charged, bluebirds

Listen Later

Bus drivers and train operators in metro Denver get a new contract. You'll hear what that means for riders. Plus, a Colorado furniture mogul and a Republican congressman explain why they oppose Trump’s tariffs. Then, a DA’s decision in a fatal shooting draws attention to a law enforcement struggle when bystanders have guns. And we share a Colorado postcard about our beloved bluebirds. 

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Bazi Kanani. It’s edited and produced by Mateo Schimpf, Arlo Pérez Esquivel, and Corey Jones. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
