Then there were two - the second transportation proposal has made the ballot. This one includes a more than 20% increase in the state sales and use tax. Remember when Mayor John Hickenlooper introduced a plan to eliminate homelessness within Denver within 10 years? Well, it's been more than 10 years, and it's quadrupled.  What

Who will Walker Stapleton debate at Club 20? Nobody. George Brauchler makes his case to the Vail Daily. Fix our Damn Roads makes the ballot.

Just how different are George Brauchler and Phil Weiser? Very. Some people are wondering why Chris Watts is being charged with three, not four murders. Answer: politics. Congressman Ed Perlmutter supports cutting down trees? 

Kerry Donovan is running in one of the most competitive districts in the state - clearly, she's worried about her reelection chances as she's currently asking for volunteers half a state away to help her look like she has more support than is actually there. Polis still won't commit to supporting Jordan Cove, an important project for the western

Initiative 97 would hurt education funding? Yes. A brilliant analysis. Read it. Well worth your time. One step closer to an Adams County spaceport? Seems like we won't be seeing archers dealing with the exploding deer population in Colorado Springs any time soon.

Funny, he

An op-ed in the Pueblo Chieftain excoriates Jared Polis for his attitude toward rural Colorado and the Grand Junction Sentinel has a new poll out asking if Polis should attend Club 20. The CEA's endorsement of Polis comes through firmly gritted teeth. It's dusty in here or there's something in my eye - a beautiful piece about Larimer

There's a stop today in Colorado on the Job Creators Network bus tour. Business owners will be talking about how tax cuts have helped them to Mike Coffman. There should be a lot to learn. RSVP here. Club 20 has said they will not allow Jared Polis to send a surrogate in his place.  Colorado

Remember that time they tried (and failed) to increase taxes by a BILLION dollars for education? Well, Initiative 93, which will increase taxes by $1.6 billion has made the ballot. Speaking of initiatives, Tracee Bentley vivisects Initiative 97 in the Greeley Tribune.  The Bank of the West situation keeps getting worse and worse for them.
