Renters may be particularly annoyed at a veto from Governor Jared Polis, which rejected an attempt to guard against alleged price fixing. Then, sounds from Boulder last night, where someone injured in Sunday’s firebomb attack spoke to the community. Plus, why Colorado’s air quality is dangerous in the summer, and what you can do about it. And, ideas for your weekend,  including a fringey art festival and an LGBTQ street party.

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