Host Paula Rhoads reviews recent news announcements and clips from VIEWS FROM DENVER, another public access show at 4 pm Fridays on Channel 56. The quotes about mentally ill inmates are from Carl Clark, MD and CEO of the Mental Health Center of Denver, as well as from Christie Donner of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, whose various positions are expressed politely. Watch that VIEWS show at 4 pm Fridays. Or in the www.denveropenmedia.org archives, where BrainiacsKIDSTBI also approaches a similar topic.

Late in the program, Paula discusses what she terms hate speech from a local regarding school children with learning disabilities. And Judge Thomas DiMarino's wacky cancellation of Paula's settlement conference by PHONE because her former employer, U.S. Home Corporation, claimed that Paula could kill them by PHONE. Is Judge Thomas DiMarino hallucinating? Or just exhibiting features of a psychotic personality disorder? Or just corrupt?

Paula also announces the passing of Dr. Pat Grant, as well as the dates of the upcoming Legislative Committee hearing regarding Pinnacol Assurance worker's compensation insurance carrier of last resort, which amassed a $2 billion reserve fund and then claims it is not a state agency. Paula points out that Pinnacol has a seat reserved for it on the Worker's Compensation Division COST CONTAINMENT BOARD.
