We like to spread out our end-of-year retrospectives so that 2012 gets a little reflection time. It is with that in mind that we present the awards for Colorado’s Top Politico (and Worst Politico for 2011, as well a look at who had a good and bad year in the last full year of human […]
We wanted to make sure a story in today’s Denver paper from reporter Tim Hoover got a mention–a couple of weeks ago, we were forwarded some pre-legislative session Q&A between Hoover and House Speaker Frank McNulty on the Senior Homestead Exemption. A yearly battle as the hard fiscal choices are made, Republicans seized on the […]
(We call this phenomenon “GOP amnesia” – promoted by Colorado Pols) In its coverage of the release of Hickenlooper’s proposed state budget, The Denver Post predicted a partisan battle in the state legislature next year over Hick’s proposal to suspend Senior Homestead Exemption, which gives some seniors a property-tax break and costs the state around […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) These days, Republicans in the Colorado Assembly are facing a question they’re not used to being asked: how will you pay for that? In 2009, state Republicans and Democrats were both saying they wanted to pass legislation to upgrade Colorado’s roads and bridges. The Dems’ plan, the FASTER legislation […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE #2: Washington Post, add Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a lead plaintiff in the lawsuit challenging federal health care reform, to the Koch list: He spoke at a breakfast about federalism and touted his office’s role in lawsuits against the federal government involving health care and the […]

We are working on confirmation now. —– UPDATE: Not much information yet, […]
As a courtesy warning, if you have no interest in what happens east of Greeley, Limon or Pueblo, this diary is long and not likely for you. On Friday, October 29 Pols front-paged an article posing the question of whether the Republican’s will take the majority in the Senate. Absent was any mention of the […]
An excellent set of opinions on the current state of the “Tea Party” in Colorado, published in the New York Times yesterday featuring local opinionmakers Fred Brown, Anne Hyde of Colorado College, Barry Poulson and Scott Adler of CU, Michael de Yoanna of 5280, and Robert Duffy and John Straayer of CSU. Worth reading in […]
In the last two years, as everyone who follows Colorado politics knows, major cuts have been made to the state budget as revenue declined during the recent recession. A recurring theme, given that the state legislature has been controlled by Democrats during this period of budget cutting, has been vitriolic attacks from the GOP minority […]
Funny stuff, from the Grand Junction Sentinel’s Charles Ashby: During this year’s legislative session, Rep. Ed Vigil, D-Alamosa, carried a bill to change the state designation for Mineral County. That desigation, which only the Legislature can set, determines, among other things, the pay scale for elected officials… Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez, was one of those […]
