Sen. Daniel Kagan made the right decision for the women of the state Senate in stepping down. There have been threats, student walkouts, and lockouts in a Weld County School District. It looks like a mess. There's a lot of money in campaign finance filing fines outstanding in Colorado.
DENVER— Yesterday Sen. Daniel Kagan (D-Cherry Hills) announced his intention to resign effective January 11th.
