A new television ad is up on the air today from a group called “Good Jobs Colorado” targeting Republican gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton over his persistent refusal to actually do his job as State Treasurer:
Stapleton’s lax attendance record at PERA Board meetings has been well-documented for several years now. Stapleton’s general indifference about the job he was elected to do (twice) came up repeatedly in the Republican gubernatorial primary last spring, and it was a certainty that this narrative would resurface in the General Election.
Stapleton also had to fend off accusations about his light work schedule during his bid for re-election as State Treasurer in 2014. Apparently he did not learn much from that experience; it’s hard to convince voters that you are the right guy for the top job in the state when you barely showed up for work at your last gig.

Stapleton always sent a deputy. Who did Jason Crow send to all the Veteran's Committee meetings he missed?
All of Colorado cares whether they get a part-time Governor representing 1/3 or less of our citizens in Stumbleton, or a full-time governor for all Coloradans in Polis. That's the issue you really don't want to address, Nutter, isn't it?
State Treasurer is a full-time paid job. It's supposed to be, anyway.
If someone not running against Stapleton missed a meeting that makes Stapleton not doing the job he is paid to do by the people Colorado okay? Did you not learn in school that two wrongs do not make a right?
Also, doing just a tiny bit of research the deputy that Stapleton sent to fill in was a gem. Jon Forbes apparently spent his time swearing at other board members instead of doing useful work.
Turning it back on Crow? Are you not as sure of Coffman winning this year as you let on?
Shouldn't you be busy licking postage stamps Nutter? So we can get those farmer-welfare checks delivered
by election dayin a timely fashion?What was the deputy able to do? Couldn't vote. Can't find anything indicating he was a major source of ideas or able to improve and fine tune other members' suggestions.
And do you really want to equate an official government-established board for oversight of a pension fund with a voluntary committee designed to advocate for a government commitment?
And can we get attendance records for the committees Stapleton touts on his bio page, "Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Denver, as well as the Denver Metro Council of the El Pomar Foundation." ??
To paraphrase Dean Wormer of Animal House fame, "Lazy, incompetent and dishonest is no way to go though life." The GOP really hitched its wagon to a star this time.
I believe the line is “fat, drunk and stupid.''
It still applies.
