The Map is a special edition series of The Dais — Colorado Springs civic journalism from Story Seed Studios.

Not affiliated with El Paso County or City of Colorado Springs government. Not a lawyer, not a lobbyist, not a developer — just someone who started reading the agendas and couldn’t stop.

The Map is a narrative series. We draw connections, ask questions, and try to make complicated systems make sense in plain English. We work from public records and we name what the record shows. Describing a connection is not an allegation. Make of it what you will. Not legal advice.

I took Government twice. Made a C the first time and thought I could slide by. Made a D. Learn at your own risk.
