Thanks, Hick!
Millions in oil, gas taxes may have been lost because Colorado regulators didn’t enforce reporting rules
Bu, buh, but . . .
. . . Colorado has some of the toughest, strictest, and most rigorous unenforced O&G regulations in the entire country.
We’re like a model . . . or something . . .
Seriously! Why have rules if they are not enforced?!
To make the rubes feel good when they're passed?
To give politicos
something to dosomething to say that they did.(Plus, the process also gives them incredible opportunities to arrange
bribescampaign “support” . . .)Maybe you should also thank the oil & gas loving Republicans, especially from Weld County, who controlled the State Senate in 2016-18. Also ask the Dems who controlled the House. There is such a thing as legislative oversight.
It is practically impossible to accurately state the total, cumulative, amount of money that has been improperly, or illegally, transferred from Coloradans’ pockets to those of the owners and managers of the extraction companies since coal mining started here almost 200 years ago.
From direct subsidies, to tax credits, to downright thievery, the OilyBoyzand Girlz have gleaned billions of dollars. They love to brag about their incomes…much of which is your tax dollars.
There are always a few Matsunakas or McKinleys around the Colorado state house, but it is the Republican party and the extractive industries that have been joined at the hip from like, forever ago. The Colorado Republican party has been more like an oil and gas and coal advocacy group…without scruples.
That dynamic is changing…slowly… inexorably. Petroleum will always be a feed stock for industry. Its days as the worlds’ major provider of fuel, however, are limited.
Diana Bray Explains Sitting for the Pledge in the Colorado Sun.
A principled position and I respect her. I would vote for her if she were a candidate or nominee for a position like State House or State Senate, even though I mildly disagree with her on this point. Not going to vote for a complete novice for US Senate without something more compelling than a statement of principle.
Not that I would be likely to get the chance since there are four other novice candidates running for the Democratic nomination plus Romanov and Hickenlooper. I had not looked for a while so I was unaware that all the other candidates with prior experience had withdrawn.
Absent something unexpected like a drunk driving crash, it will be Hick vs. Gardner in the fall.
I have no problem standing for the the pledge, because I support its noble aspirations. But like Dave Barnes says, I have no imaginary friends, so I’m silent on the “under god” part.
Big Line still lists 8 Senate contenders for dems.
You're right, I was mislead by Wikipedia which only lists seven declared candidates as of 1/29/2020. No one has bothered to add David Goldfisher.. not that he has any more chance than the other declared but never elected to anything else candidates.
Mike May, former REPUBLICAN leader in state House, endorsed Romo. Is that just for the nomination or nomination and general election?
Unique campaigning style. Genuine hands-on approach.
That's Joe – awkward.
Hey Buddy!

The Colorado Mystery Drones Weren’t Real: The mysterious drone sightings that captured national attention were a classic case of mass hysteria.
The drones were real, documented by several reliable people in NE Colorado, some of whom I know. The question is, who was operating them, and why?
Corona or current flu
15,000 US deaths, 150 world wide deaths
150,000 US hospitalizations, 17 US hospitalizations
corona is shiny new and therefore scary
If it had a worse name , the hysteria would be magnified
Black Virus
RatVirus
SpiderRat Virus
BlackSpiderRat Virus
If the drones were described as programmable flying magic cameras – which are all over anyway, I don't think people would have cared much.
The Mad Gasser of Mattoon was also well documented!
