**Ross on the News with Jeana** This episode is a wild ride, folks! From the worst candies in the world to the latest election results, we've got it all covered. Our host is still reeling from the Almond Joy debacle, and we're not sure if he's more upset about the candy or the fact that his audio engineer, Dragon, left it on his desk. But don't worry, we're not here to talk about candy all day (although, let's be real, who doesn't love a good Almond Joy rant?). We're diving into the world of politics, where the Democrats are celebrating their big win in Colorado and the Republicans are, well, not so much. We're joined by Governor Jared Polis, who shares his thoughts on the election results and what they mean for the state. He's got some interesting insights on the supermajority and how it might impact the business climate in Colorado. We're also talking about the ballot measures that passed, including Proposition 87, which could make Colorado the ninth highest tax state in the country. But don't worry, we're not just talking about taxes all day (although, let's be real, who doesn't love a good tax debate?). We're also discussing the implications of the election results on the business community and what it means for the future of Colorado. But it's not all serious business, folks. We're also talking about some of the more... unusual aspects of the election, like the fact that Victor Marx's campaign raised hundreds of thousands of dollars but didn't buy a single TV ad. We're also discussing the latest news in the world of technology, where the market is experiencing a correction due to fears about the AI trade. And, because we're a podcast about all things Colorado, we're talking about the latest news in the state, from the Supreme Court to the world of data centers.
