Will Denver Dump Data Centers? Plus, Suburban Shoplifting Hysteria and a QuikTrip Bait and Switch

Описание: After bubbling up over the last few months, the debate over data centers in Denver boiled over this week. Mayor Mike Johnston imposed a moratorium on new ones being built, then a community meeting erupted in chants to halt construction on one going up in Elyria-Swansea. Our green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval was at the town hall, and she joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to get into it — plus, Douglas County has a new retail theft measure that could lead to fines for businesses that don’t report shoplifting and, as always, our wins and fails of the week.




Paul mentioned Greeley’s big arena vote (https://www.9news.com/article/news/lo...) and Humane Colorado (https://humanecolorado.org/new-name-s...) . Bree talked about Blucifer’s First Rodeo (https://www.bluciferfest.com/) . Justine discussed the Westernaires dropping Native American dancing (https://www.denverpost.com/2026/02/24...) and the Garfield County sheriff’s comments (https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/l...) about Rep. Elizabeth Velasco (https://coloradonewsline.com/briefs/l...) .
