As the Denver Post reports: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman on Monday unveiled a proposal to give tax breaks to people who buy water-saving toilets, sprinkler systems and other items for their houses. Coffman said he hopes the proposed credit, which was formally introduced earlier this month and has bipartisan support in Congress, will spur a […]
Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch. But as the Denver Post reports: State ethics commissioners are huddling in executive session this morning and could come to a decision on a complaint filed against now U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman as early as this afternoon. The complaint alleges that as secretary of state, Coffman knowingly allowed […]
UPDATE: The Denver Post picks up where the Independent left off: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman says an ethics group waged a two-year “partisan attack” against him while he served as Colorado’s secretary of state… “It was essentially a two-year jihad so they could go back to their donors and say they were doing a good […]
That’s the word from Denver District Court today, as Politics West reports: Congressman Mike Coffman has a date with the state’s Independent Ethics Commission this week, after a Denver District Court judge denied his request to delay a hearing in a complaint against him. “Having fully considered the jurisdictional arguments of Coffman advanced to the […]
After spewing the traditional Republican talking points about all the bad things contained in the stimulus package signed into law today by President Barack Obama (in Denver, no less), Republican freshman congressman Mike Coffman actually decided to turn on his own brain and stray away from the “free market will save us all” rhetoric.
From The Columbine Courier:
In a break from traditional Republican ideology, Coffman said a lack of regulation led to the current economic morass.
“The demise of this economy was really a failure of government to properly regulate the economy,” Coffman said. “We had these subprime loans infecting a lot of balance sheets. I don’t see the appropriate oversight there, and it eventually brought the economy down.”
The lack of discipline wasn’t limited to profit-seeking banks, Coffman said.
“Essentially, the problem was spending beyond our means,” the congressman said. “Too much easy money, too much easy credit, and spending beyond our means as individuals and collectively as a nation. I don’t know how, again, spending and borrowing is going to be the cure here. It’s a real concern.”
Coffman, of course, doesn’t have an answer of his own for what should have been done – specifically – to fix the economy. But at least he shows that he may be willing to break the party line on the talking points that really make no sense at all. Like pretending a lack of regulation wasn’t the problem, for example. Because Republicans need leaders who can sound reasonable, for a change.
Usually a cue to pay attention, as the AP reports: Former Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman is asking a judge to block the state Independent Ethics Commission from holding a hearing on a complaint against him. Coffman filed suit in Denver District Court saying the complaint by Colorado Ethics Watch is frivolous and the […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports–bet you’d forgotten, hadn’t you? A complaint filed a year ago against former Secretary of State Mike Coffman should continue to a public hearing, the new state Independent Ethics Commission has ruled. The hearing, scheduled for March 6, would be the first of its kind by the panel, which was […]
As the Colorado Independent reports: Just after Rep. Mike Coffman voted, along with every other House Republican, against the $816 billion stimulus package – the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, by its proper name – the Aurora lawmaker blasted a statement to the press to explain his reasoning. “The American people deserve better […]
Note to CD-6 Republicans: you made a serious mistake electing Mike Coffman to Congress this past August. At least that’s what former Governor Bill Owens, outgoing Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, former Rep. Scott McInnis, Attorney General John Suthers, and even ex-Presidential candidate Mitt Romney all warned in unmistakable terms before the primary in this safe GOP […]
According to a press release yesterday from Hank Eng’s campaign in CD-6: ***Hank Eng Pulls Neck-to-Neck in Historically Close Congressional Race*** For the first time in the history of CD-6, the race for Congress is neck-and-neck. In a poll conducted by Zenmango Media Group, Congressional Candidate Hank Eng has pulled within 5 points of his […]
