Weekly Roundup: Supreme Court Rulings – New Gas Tax – Privacy Act – Social Media Lawsuit

It’s almost Independence Day and the Supreme Court has given us a reason to celebrate!

The Colorado Gov’t has been discriminating against Christian business owners, and Colorado’s taxpayer-funded universities have been discriminating based on race.

Thankfully, the Supreme Court is standing up for Colorado.

In addition to the recent Supreme Court rulings, I also cover Colorado’s new gas tax, an effort in Loveland to end the Food tax, Colorado’s new Privacy Act, and more!
