A Colorado warmup act for the congressional tax plan
Could that be the Millennial Policy Center’s Jimmy Sengenberger on YouTube, rockin’ and rollin’ his way through an ad hoc appeal to Congress to pass the tax-reform bill? By golly, it is. The youthful policy advocate and talk radio presence is joined by similarly youthful bandmates Jason Dashiell, Josh Loun and Eric Barney in a tribute…

Concealed-carry reciprocity is an early Christmas present for Colorado Millennials
The United States House of Representatives gave us an early Christmas present last week when it passed the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act in a bipartisan 231-198 vote. This vote came the day after the Millennial Policy Center released a white paper that makes the case for concealed carry reciprocity (CCR). H.R. 38, in part, allows a legally-able and…
