KDNK's Morgan Neely has Friday's news, including Gov. Jared Polis becoming vice-chair of the National Governors Association, Colorado's attorney general announces a settlement with the Feds over the Trump Administration's illegal use of funds to build a border wall, and the state has a new state tax credit to incentivize the transition to electric vehicles. Also, Roaring Fork Schools selects a new public information officer/chief of staff. And, the nation's farmers produce about 10 percent of the country's greenhouse gases, a number the USDA is trying to bring down. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators looks to avoid pay cuts for firefighters, while the Roaring Fork Valley has some close calls with blazes that could've turned major.
