RIP FirstBank, DPS’s Superintendent Wants Out, and What’s Up With the DMV?
About this episode
The episode discusses the acquisition of FirstBank, local banking issues, DMV wait times, and the DPS superintendent's desire to leave Denver.
Goodbye, FirstBank! While PNC promised a smooth transition after it acquired the legacy “Colorado bank for you” for $4.1 billion, many customers are reporting real problems – like the woman who suddenly had access to her mother’s bank accounts. Green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval is back on the pod with host Bree Davies to talk about local banking brand loyalty, long wait times at the DMV, and the city’s plan to staff up and write more parking tickets. Plus, a bonus segment only for City Cast Denver Neighbors about why DPS superintendent Alex Marrero can’t seem to keep his desire to get out of Denver a secret.
