Well, that’s upsetting

Well, this is deeply upsetting - Sen. Cory Gardner's wife was texted a beheading video. Eeek. Your healthcare costs are going up again.  Let's all at least work from the same set of facts?

Nepotism

Jared Polis pulled strings to help his sister get a government job? I guess it's all who you know. Using kids to pitch their tax increase? Of course. Pen Tate comes out of the gate swinging.

Thank a farmer

National numbers are showing this whole Supreme Court circus is blowing up in the Democrat's face. This will be Sen. Dianne Feinstein's lasting legacy. How will it play out in Colorado? The Colorado Farm Bureau has endorsed Walker Stapleton. Speaking of the Farm Bureau - the Amendment they're backing, 74 - received an endorsement from the

Like/unlike

So, does Jared Polis "like" 112 or not? He liked it then he unliked it once he got caught. Phony Polis, indeed. Colorado Peak Politics has a few ideas for questions reporters could be asking Jared Polis. A great Lew Gaiter story.

Overdrive

Jared Polis' new health care plan would somehow be funded through a new payroll tax, but also would make it so people would be able to take more home in their paycheck. I would love to see how the math works out on this one (hint: it doesn't). Well, at least one person is being held accountable for

Details, details

Polis announced the "details" of his health care proposal - and by "details" I mean "lack of details." Jefferson County has eliminated the business personal property tax and will now have a comparative advantage to all surrounding counties - the next question is how soon others follow suit? Robin Wise makes a salient case against 112.

Dummy events

Maybe to try to muddy the waters on exactly who is or is not showing up to meet their potential constituents: Democrats have now taken to creating dummy events and labeling them "townhalls" in order to accuse their opponents of not showing up. Well, this is a horrifying squatter story.  Planning on renting out your

I’ll see you in court

The Colorado Springs Gazette called it - we need an AG who has actually tried cases in court - preferably, many cases. Diane Mitsch Bush says she hasn't yet taken a position on Jordan Cove, a major issue on the west slope . . . the place she's running to represent. Sandy Tan will step in as

Misleading

Jared Polis came out with the first candidate-run negative ad of the gubernatorial general. And it's already being called "misleading." Hillary Clinton is coming to town for the Democrat's coordinated campaign. Oh, joy. Principles That Matter has a policy conference call this afternoon - call in if you have a few minutes.

Water

Where does Jared Polis stand on the water issue? We can't really tell, and think that's a problem. Sign the petition to ask for a clear water policy.  In addition to Jared Polis not making it to Club 20, neither did Kerry Donovan? That's bad. It's funny that Sen. Bennet is acting like he was ever considering voting
