Dear Friends,

Big announcement, especially amidst the hullabaloo of the Ritter news. John and friend of the show Dillon Doyle have launched a new project that has been in the work for a couple of months: the Colorado Political Institute. The project will provide in-depth analysis and commentary on Colorado politics. We have a report on the role of natural gas in state politics on the (brand new) website, with commentary on Ritter’s resignation coming soon. Jeff will be helping out with the project as well. Check out the CPI site, and follow it on Twitter!

In other (related news), John will be on the Mario Solis-Marich Show today at 4:40 PM MT to talk about Ritter fallout. Listen on AM760 in Denver/Boulder area, or online here.

In other other news, we’re recording a new show tonight so be on the look out for it late tonight or tomorrow.
