June 10, 2025: Polis lawsuit response, your wildfire risk, free lunches vote, Samba royalty crowned


Listen Later

The governor pauses an order in response to a whistleblower lawsuit over immigration. Then, just a few years ago Coloradans voted to fund free meals at schools, but the program is running out of money already. Voters will decide what happens next. Plus, you can get money to help protect your home from wildfires, because the risk of them in suburbs and cities is rising. And, a king and queen of Samba are crowned.

This episode of Colorado Today is hosted by Arlo Pérez Esquivel. It’s edited and produced by Jo Erickson, Mateo Schimpf, and Stephanie Wolf. The executive producer is Rachel Estabrook. Theme music by Pedro Lumbraño.
