The so-called “Great Colorado Payback,” the troubled program run by Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton to reunite Coloradans with lost funds that has been the focus of a good deal of negative press as complaints and wait times have piled up, has a more fundamental problem:
This was brought to our attention several days ago, but we waited to post to make sure it wasn’t a temporary outage. It doesn’t appear to be the case. To be fair, the actual website for the Great Colorado Payback is still online, just not via the domain name they used in all the advertisements. Which is, needless to say, still pretty important.
On the upside, Stapleton’s management of the program has been bad enough that it would maybe be better for claimants to visit a dead link? At least that way they wouldn’t get their hopes up about getting their money in a timely fashion.
There are other metaphors lurking here, but you get the idea.

Sounds more like the "Great Colorado Con Job".
Just wait until he's Governor!
I just checked the site and, for grins, put my name in.
I've got a claim. Whoopee! [$14.ish]
Process requires input on site; getting an email from the site and printing it. Getting Driver's License & SSN for ALL reported owners (with the SSN info from copies of cards (mine card still says "not valid for identification"), tax return, W2, etc.
Wouldn't you think the state could more adequately check to see if I had a tax return filed from my address than asking me to make a copy of my form and then having them check it? [I'm assuming they check the submissions].
Anything that goes through the Department of Revenue sinks into a black hole. It's a disgrace and the legislature (GOP Senate) refuses to do anything about it.
Old ads, non issue. Slow news day for pols.
That was in reference to Rod Rosenstein. You can't get rid of me unless Colorado Pols bans me, and if you do that it's just censorship. I love you too!!
Oh! I thought you were telling us you were leaving.
Yeah nutter. I do love you. Because you just show people how shitty Republicans are.
You might want to pass your message of banning=censorship to peak politics.
