E209 - How our DOT in Colorado faked a mud slide just to detour traffic

Would a state agency that is tasked with giving out at times life saving information send out fake information just to detour traffic? The answer is pretty close to yes. I look at the story of the Colorado DOT sending out a fake message about a mudslide that never happened just to get the traffic apps to reroute traffic off a road the DOT didn’t want drivers using. I rant about this and invite Denver7 polictical reporter Meghan Lopezt to weigh in on the story after she got the runaround from various officials. Also someone wrote to our newsroom saying working for Southwest is like “slave labor”. I go through that email as well. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
