In Trump era, what to do about Muslim haters on Colorado talk radio?
Bigotry toward Muslims is part of the hot air on some Colorado talk-radio shows, so much so that you get inured to it and kind of accept it.
County Commissioner Mark Waller thinks anecdotal evidence is fine for he but not for thee
I ran across this post by former state legislator turned El Paso County Commissioner Mark Waller (R) in which he claims a link between an increasing homeless population in Colorado and the legalization of cannabis.
