Denver’s ambitious hosting hopes, CO again seeks FEMA aid, preventing elder fraud, an expensive historic discovery
Description
From political football to actual football, Denver’s jockeying to host some big-name events in the coming years. Then, Gov. Polis requested federal disaster declarations for two of this year’s wildfires. But after denying similar requests last year, will the President agree? Plus, a new law puts banks on the front lines of fighting fraud against seniors. And how a historic sewer exposed weaknesses in Denver’s financial oversight.
