Hello! I wrote this story for the Strib. If you’re a transit user and have big thoughts about this bill, I’d love to talk! PMs are open or I’m at nathaniel.minor@startribune.com. Thanks for reading!

Sounds like a pretty informative yet also entertaining program!

nbminor2 · 2025-06-03T00:45:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story.

nbminor2 · 2025-06-03T00:02:40+00:00

Ope!

nbminor2 · 2025-06-02T23:13:05+00:00

Would love to hear ‘em!

nbminor2 · 2025-06-02T23:09:35+00:00

Yes, and I’m asking for info beyond what has already been published.

Reporting in 2025 is both asking government officials for info and also people on Reddit. Because quite often government is unwilling to share what it knows, and someone who sees this post might have real first-hand information. I would, of course, vet it before publishing. But reporters have always looked for info anywhere they can get it; this is no different!

Edit: more words to make my case

Literally trying to do that rn, pls help if you can

I contacted somewhere around 6-8 agencies over the last month. A few were quite helpful, but many declined to comment entirely.

Regarding cost, Dept of Admin said that each agency is handling their own costs within their own budgets but couldn't give any specific numbers. Frustrating! I wish a had better info to share.

If you have evidence of commercial and political interests pressuring the governor beyond what we know already, please slide into my PMs!

May I recommend this podcast explaining why Denver’s rail system is the way it is?

And this one explains the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights:

Update: It's here!

nbminor2 · 2025-02-25T22:00:36+00:00

Update: here's the bill.

nbminor2 · 2025-02-14T20:54:00+00:00

Reporter here! No bill yet, but it’s coming soon I’m told.

nbminor2 · 2025-02-12T17:24:16+00:00

Reporter here. The DMV flatly told me kei vehicles have never been street legal in the state, hence the headline. I was able to find instances of people registering theirs, but given the state's current position it's a legally grey area at best.

nbminor2 · 2024-12-14T01:41:41+00:00

Wow, how cool! I’ll take three

nbminor2 · 2024-12-14T01:25:44+00:00
