We stand corrected along with Sen. Mark Udall, 9NEWS helpfully reports: Sen. Mark Udall is wading into a hotly contested special election on behalf of a fellow Democrat, and it’s his use of the word “tea-baggers” that has upset some conservatives. The fundraising e-mail is on behalf of Martha Coakley, a Democrat, who is facing […]
We knew when we first saw it that Senate candidate Jane Norton’s recent call at a “Tea Party” gathering to abolish the federal Department of Education was going to go over badly with the well-adjusted majority–and today, the Denver Post’s Lynn Bartels reports: Democrats last week pounced on a report that Republican U.S. Senate candidate […]
Interesting report from a self-described “Tea Party guy” who had a chance to sit down with GOP Senate candidate Jane Norton recently. Seems he came away happy–will anyone else? Excerpts from the blog Perlstalker’s Ramblings: I attended a meet and greet with Colorado Senate hopeful Jane Norton. There have been some that have questioned her […]
(Bumped into Friday, audio now available thanks to a Pols reader – promoted by Colorado Pols) UPDATE: Thank you, dear reader: Can’t see the audio player? Click here. From National Journal’s Hotline: Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) voice will be piped in to voters’ homes over the next several days in key states as GOPers pressure […]
From the Colorado Independent: As prominent gay activists pull their support and calls for a boycott grow louder, a spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Jared Polis tells The Colorado Independent the Boulder Democrat still plans to attend the controversial $1,000-a-plate LGBT fundraising dinner for the Democratic National Committee in Washington, D.C., next Thursday. “He is a […]
In a guest column for the Boulder Daily Camera today, Sen. Mark Udall writes in support of expanding federal hate crimes definitions to include segments of the GLBT community–timely with the first such trial under Colorado’s expanded law about to kick off: I was elected to Congress a month after Matthew [Shepard’s] murder. And for […]
As The Golden Transcript reports:
The movement to recall six sitting city council members including the mayor fell short on Monday, Feb. 23 when recall organizers failed to turn in any documentation by the 5 p.m. deadline…
…Petitions to recall Smith, and council members Karen Oxman, Joe Behm, Diane Chesbro, Bill Fisher and Marjorie Sloan were filed with the City Clerk’s office in December. The petitions claimed council had been fiscally irresponsible, lacked civility and improperly convened executive sessions.
Ward One Councilwoman Mary Weaver was the only sitting council member not recalled.
Recall organizers then had 60 days to collect enough signatures to force a special election with an estimated cost of $50,000.
“I’m glad the citizens of Golden recognize that the recall petitions are intended for serious breaches of the public’s trust, not for petty disagreements about city policy decisions” said City Manager Mike Bestor.
Phone calls made to two recall supporters were not returned, A third recall supporter declined to comment.
This is good news for many reasons, not the least that the city won’t have to spend unnecessary money for a recall election when a general election will be held in November anyway. There was no real reason for the recall effort aside from the personal gripes of a small minority.
A very interesting maneuver by the Dems, as the Denver Post reports: A bill that would make it easier for unwed couples to plan their estates and share benefits in times of tragedy is certain to touch off a gay-rights debate at the Capitol. Unwed couples can already designate each other as emergency decision makers, […]
Writing in the Sterling Journal-Advocate, former state Sen. Mark Hillman lays out his reasons for the Republican Party’s decline–presaging his comeback? After being routed at the polls for two consecutive election cycles, Republicans are turning introspective, asking how the party fell out of favor so suddenly and how to correct course. That introspection includes the […]
You hate ’em. But Colorado Senate candidate Bob Schaffer loves ’em, as The Hill reports: Former Republican Congressman Bob Schaffer’s campaign in Colorado voiced support for the controversial robocalls supported by John McCain’s campaign, saying they raise legitimate concerns about Barack Obama. “I do not anticipate asking that be done,” said campaign manager Dick Wadhams […]
