Pinnacol bills and robot tournament
In Project: Brainiacs

Host Paula Rhoads presents robots at tournament last Saturday at DU, which play was far more aggressive than the practice rounds we shared with you last week.

Also, the second hour of footage from the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on six worker's compensation bills coming from the Pinnacol Assurance interim committee last summer and fall. The first hour was broadcast on April 2, 2010 in the Views From Denver public access tv show and are now in the archives at www.denveropenmedia.org/project/6456/shows.

The first hour was primarily bill sponsors presenting each bill.

The second hour is primarily injured workers, some attorneys, doctors and advocates for the poor.

A third hour will be ingested Tuesday.

Then Paula gets on her high horse in time for Easter and asks her audience to use their little fingers when they dial their legislators to express themselves.

Pinnacol is defined in statute as a "political subdivision of the state" but the public has no representation on its board at all.

The public has also been disenfranchised from the Colorado Worker's Compensation Division COST CONTAINMENT BOARD.

Paula wants the public to use their little fingers in dialing their legislators in symbolism that together, the public has more power in their little fingers than Pinnacol has money.

Stop this travesty.
