PROFESSOR AMY MONAHAN: THE U.S. SUPREME COURT TELLS US THAT PUBLIC PENSION PLAN REFORMS MUST BE THE "LEAST DRASTIC" ALTERNATIVE TO MEET CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER. TAKING PUBLIC PENSION RETIREE BENEFITS CARRIES THE GREATEST LEGAL RISK OF ALL PUBLIC PENSION REFORMS. MOST PUBLIC PENSION ADMINISTRATORS THINK OF PUBLIC PENSION COLAS AS AN ACCRUED PUBLIC PENSION BENEFIT. On […]
January 2008 U.S. Government Accountability Office, “State and Local Government Retiree Benefits: Current Funded Status of Pension and Health Benefits,” (GAO-08-223.) The GAO report notes on p. 15, “Many experts and officials to whom we spoke consider a funded ratio of 80 percent to be sufficient for public plans for a couple of reasons. First, […]
SUNDAY UPDATE #3: FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports: The flier from that new group, which isn’t even registered with the state but lists its address as that of the Hackstaff Law Group, Gessler’s old firm, is a revealing microcosm, just the latest display of a ham-handed political operation on the right. [Pols emphasis] Beyond the half-shade […]
Last August, we took note of a "debate" held by the right-wing Independence Institute on energy issues, at least nominally billed for "women of all political stripes." It was by all accounts more of a Hannity and Colmes energy industry infomercial than a real debate, though that's to be fully expected. What we were struck by […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Larry Pratt, Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, praised Weld County Sheriff John Cook recently for taking a "very strong stand on what he thinks the limits of the Federal government are." Speaking to Greeley talk show host Scooter McGee, Pratt said some sheriffs around the country are ready to […]
AP's Kristen Wyatt reports via the Durango Herald: A legislative panel decided Friday that marijuana in Colorado could be taxed at rates above 30 percent. But voters would have to OK the taxes, and some lawmakers fear the state’s tax-skeptical public could reject such high rates. A House-Senate panel set up to propose marijuana regulations […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels did, to her credit, extract a qualified apology from hirsute pro-gun recall organizer Nick Andrasik (see photo below), who says today he would "probably not" again use the "c-word" and other offensive language to describe Democratic legislators if given the choice. The "situation is different," says Andrasik, meaning exposure to a light source other […]
Conservatives across the nation are gleefully pouncing on another Colorado Democrat who said something stupid during the debate over guns. In clearer terms than previous incidents, this latest gaffe from Rep. Diana DeGette, as we'll explain, could be the worst one yet from any Democrat. Huffington Post reports as charitably as can be: Rep. Diana […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) You get the feeling that some Republicans are trying to sneak Hispanics into the GOP tent through the back tent flaps, for fear that welcoming them though the tent's front door will offend the dwindling number of Republicans already in the tent. That's what I was thinking when KFKA morning show […]
The Colorado economy continues on a path to recovery, with a larger-than-expected revenue projection of an additional $256 million for FY 2013-2014. But the question remains, as Colorado WINS Executive Director Scott Wasserman asked Eli Stokols of FOX 31 today: “Can’t we have just one budget year in which public services and those who provide […]
