Remember when Executive Director Ford claimed she didn't know about the involvement of a lobbyist in the Alameda Road Repurposing and that was nonsense?

Hey look- it’s Mayor Johnston and the the Deputy Manager and COO of DOTI with the lobbying firm that Jill Anschutz used to kill the Alameda road safety project. If you are a regular resident and want something done in this city. You don’t stand a chance against those with money.

Hey Colorado, time to object to this application. Having one conglomerate own #1 & #3 station will NOT improve competion or coverage.
Today the FCC accepted for filing the application for Nexstar (Fox31) to acquire TEGNA (9NEWS) and has set a pleading cycle (public comment) to run through late January with a ruling to follow. The FCC says Nexstar is requesting two ownership rule waivers.

The city (and library) has been purging experienced and knowledgeable staff. It's smaller scale, but similar outcome to the feds. Incompetence, lack of historical perspective, misaligned values, and no continuity of operations. This makes our city slower and worse at delivering services. 📚
