Colorado got the ball rolling for legal cannabis across the country, but this state has lagged behind others in adopting social justice measures to repair harms done by the War on Drugs. As a Black man who helped usher in Amendment 64 and recreational marijuana, Art Way is feeling the pressure. A former activist for police accountability in Denver, Way began advocating on behalf of cannabis reform in 2011, when he joined the Denver chapter of the Drug Policy Alliance; he wound up running that group until 2019, when the chapter closed. During that time, the Denver DPA helped push recreational legalization, then some of the laws that followed Amendment 64 s passage, including legislation that further decriminalized drug possession and created accelerated marijuana business licenses intended to spur more diversity in the pot industry. But Way, now a cannabis business consultant, still wants to see Colorado s cannabis space become a more equitable landscape, and continues to work ....
Advance of the election of these e-mails, whether they re duplicate e-mails or whether they reveal anything new. we just don t know. so he was between a rock and a hard place and took a step that many people are criticizing. and certainly people are trying to put a political lens on this, when the clinton officials were specifically asked if they thought comey acted with political intention. they said any motivations ascribed to comey should be asked of him, not them. but clearly, they think that he sort of dropped a bomb in the in the campaign, and people are interpreting it in a very volatile way, depending on your if you re a defender of hillary clinton or if you are a defender of donald trump. this has as we say in the journalism business, a lot of legs. yeah, a bombshell. kelly o donnell, as always, thank you today. let s give you a live look right now in colorado, where the gop nominee is scheduled to hold a rally there in just about an hour. this is his first of two ca ....
Prospect. stephanie, at that you can to me about the 9th of november and your candidate doesn t win. i ll be thankful for the democratic process, regardless, and the opportunity we all have to vote in this country. more than that, on a personal level, i would hope that the press will continue to be as independent as i, you know, still see it as coming from a background in journalism. and beyond that, i would hope that the current president will be allowed or will see criticism from journalists in a way that will be constructive and not shut down our rights to criticize or our rights to write articles or publicize information that may be or cast him or her in a negative light. leo, let s just say the person you support doesn t win. first of all, it s going to be a very sad day and not sad day because we lost or because the other party got elected. it s going to be a sad day for all the people that don t believe in corruptive government. i mean, corruptive politicians. ....
The campaign to try to blunt any negative sort of repercussions. i happen to be at a trump event when this was breaking, sheinelle. you can imagine among trump supporters, they were able to hear bits and pieces of this comey development and interpret it the way they want to. so the clinton team is certainly trying to refocus attention. and john podesta, the chairman, said this may have absolutely nothing to do with hillary clinton. but they clearly want to fight this now, and try to demand from comey a more complete sort of explanation for why he did what he did, what these e-mails may contain or the investigative documents they re looking at. they want comey to have more to say before this election gets any closer. sheinelle? and now it seems like i guess the waiting game continues, to see whether he will speak and try to clarify this. it s going to be intense pressure on comey who would have been criticized either way, because if the election proceeded and he had not come forward ....
Because the culinary union is huge, 60,000 members at southern nevada, a lot of hotel workers, people like that and those folks tend to vote democrat. but not necessarily. this year they re listening to trump and looking at the jobs situation, and they probably are not polled as much as as they could be and maybe it s because some people don t want to take the phone calls. or maybe they re suspicious about pollsters. so to your point, probably a lot of them are underpolled. so you mentioned the workers, let s talk about the economy in nevada. right now unemployment at 5.8%, down from a post recession high of 13.7%. the national rate, by the way, hovered around 9.4%. what s the overall sense from your listeners? is the economy still the issue that matters most? i think it s one of the issues that matters most, and in nevada, the difference is that the unemployment rate is down lower, which is very nice. but when you look at how people are faring versus how they were in 2008, they ma ....
