Downzoing Denver

Posted by jccaldara on Aug 21 2009 | Idiot Box (TV Show), Property Rights

(Seems they aired the Cuba episode last week, and will air Downzoning Denver tonight. The ol’ switch-a-roo.)

Why do the Denver city central planners hate senior fellow Mike Krause’s property rights so much they want to downzone his entire Berkeley neighborhood – so that no one can ever add value to their property through redevelopment? This week, Denver City Councilman Charlie Brown and Mike Krause of the Independence Institute join guest host Jessica Corry to discuss the future of property rights in Colorado’s largest city. Tune in tonight at 8:30pm on KBDI channel 12, with a repeat viewing next Tuesday at 5pm.

What a shock! Giving people a check for $4500 to buy a car is hugely popular! Is “Cash for Clunkers” a great way to stimulate the economy and reduce our collective dependence on foreign oil or just another example of the government handing out money to a preferred industry? To discuss “Cash for Clunkers,” Tim Jackson of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association and Denver Post Columnist David Harsanyi join guest host Jessica Corry on Independent Thinking. Tune in this Friday night at 8:30 pm to KBDI Channel 12; repeated the following Tuesday evening at 5 p.m.

Voter Approval of Supreme Court Justices

Posted by jccaldara on Jul 30 2009 | Idiot Box (TV Show)

Colorado’s State Supreme Court justices must get voter approval to retain their seats on the state’s highest court. This gives the voters of Colorado the option of holding justices accountable when they contort the rule of law. Matt Arnold, the Executive Director for Clear The Bench Colorado and John Andrews, former President of the Colorado State Senate, join me to discus which justices have violated the trust of the citizenry of Colorado and should not be retained. Tune in Friday night at 8:30pm on KBDI channel 12, with a repeat showing this Tuesday at 7pm.
