Governor Polis' first press conference since he granted clemency to Tina Peters focused on healthy foods.

POLIS: "While I chew on the carrot, any questions?"

(reporters asked about Peters/clemency)

POLIS: "I'm going to finish chewing my carrot."

[Kyle Clark @KyleClark]

The measure to censure Polis has cleared a procedural vote and is now being voted on by the full state central committee (400-600 members, not clear how many are participating in the meeting).

This is going to sound crazy, but I need help finding a primary care doctor in Grand Junction who is taking new patients. Literally, anyone who is willing to see my father. My parents feel like they have called every doctor in town. Please help!
