So Gardner, Crane, Penry, and King thought the legislature had enough funds without Referendum C, but now they’re falling all over each other to spend it?
Why does spending $6.4 million on “a data-sharing system for public schools” sound like a loser? Maybe Mr. King has friends in Accenture who helped him with his proposal.
Just because they were against Ref. C doesn’t negate their ideas.
So now we’ve heard from a few Republicans on the matter… what ideas are the Democrats coming up with?
Geez, BadMoon, that’s easy. Dems aren’t intersted in starting new programs with limited resources, while the GOP just wants to spend spend spend.
Putting it away for a rainy day doesn’t sound like ‘spend spend spend’ to me.
Besides, the entire Ref C effort was aimed at what, if not to be spent?
Here’s a news flash: Overtaxation should not the intent of any government. The money they’re keeping is that which is TAKEN from taxpayers.
BadMoon, Stop with your bad ideas. We need to SPEND the money to fix the schools, healthcare and roads. Not lock it up for the day the repubs have the house and give it away as tax cuts to the rich. COME ON MAN – Get your head out of your ass
We’re all in awe of your elegance of expression, dementor.
The future: Democratically controlled house and senate prevent wasteful Republican spending. Republicans claim ?fiscal responsibility?.
Rainy day fund, senior tax exemptions, and return of excess business fees are all good ideas. If the Dems object to the messengers, they can do what they did to Al White’s tourism bill, sponsor it themselves.

Interesting,
I think I see Demantors objective: Spend the money now, so those Evil Republicans can’t get it.
The problem with many of the ideas raised is they don’t correspond to the reasons Referendum C was passed – schools & healthcare. Hopefully those individuals on both sides of the fence won’t vote to use the money on other things.
Madden and the other lefties are right. People who opposed Ref C should sit on their hands and keep their mouths closed. They have no right to represent their constituents.
Rainy day fund…indeed!
btw, is everybody in the Peoples Republic of Boulder an idiot, or just the one’s who vote?
“Deep Thoughts”, by Demanator.
So – anything POSITIVE to add to the discussion, Demanator?
I think Dementor ended any question as to where his head is and in what body orifce it’s inserted in. What a bowl floater!!!!
Classic — while the R’s were in charge during our era of surpluses it never occured to the party to create a Rainy Day Fund…now, all of a sudden fiscal responsibility is on their radar screen???
