This was posted by an idiotic Romer shill last month. Why is Pols doing it now?
We didn’t see that, and we got this today along with a highlighted spreadsheet of updated numbers and donors. People do send us things every day, and this one made us chuckle.
Its not required to open a McDonalds or a software company – why the limit on competition for taxis?
+1.
He learned from the best?

Hancock opposed Metro Taxi; then Metro Taxi donated? Did Hancock then change his position? In other words, what impropriety is alleged here? I ask as someone who has no strong preference in the mayor’s race right now.
vs Metro Taxi.
The allegation is that he did a favor in some sort of shady way for a donor by testifying in favor of keeping out the competition. Metro Taxi is a huge employer in his district, of course he’s going to go to bat for them, just as Chris Romer would go to bat at the state house for a big employer in his district.
BFD.
Hancock doesn’t seem to know that Metro Taxi is giving thousands of dollars to his campaign at the same time he’s voting against allowing Mile High Taxi to be the competition. Of course he knows it. And it seems a little unfair. It also seemed a little unfair when he was the “guest speaker” as a mayoral candidate at an open house for teachers sponsored by KB Homes – one of the biggest homebuilders in his district – last week. No other candidates were invited and KB footed the bill – did they report it as a campaign contribution or a marketing expense to teachers. Fine line, huh? No rules were probably broken, but it’s appearances – just like those wacky school board members probably didn’t break any real rules with their Defense Denver work – but it doesn’t pass the smell test. Appearances, people. They know better.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
I don’t live in Denver and could care less about the Mayor’s race.
but there isn’t a position in this state (except for arguably governor) that will, for better or for worse, define the public’s perception of “Democrat” throughout Colorado more than “Mayor of Denver.”
So, if that person in the mayor’s office happens to be a feckless, two-faced, untrustworthy, duplicitious, self-absorbed, and double-dealing assclown . . . then it becomes a huge concern for Democrats everywhere in Colorado. If, on the other hand, that person is anybody other than Chris Romer . . . well, then honestly, I guess I could really care less myself.
