UPDATE: FOX 31's Eli Stokols reports on the quiet third-reading passage of the bills this morning: Senate Bill 195, which requires some in-person training for concealed carry permit-holders, passed on a bipartisan 40-24 vote and now heads to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk. The other, Senate Bill 197, restricts firearms for domestic violence offenders; it passed 36-28 […]
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 […]
We wrote yesterday about the debate over House Bill 1136, which extends the same protections against discrimination to employees of small businesses as presently exists for all other businesses with 15 or more employees under federal civil rights law. The Job Protection and Civil Rights Enforcement Act has drawn fierce opposition from Republicans, who have denounced […]
A pair of fascinating audio clips sent to us today, timely as debate continues on the Colorado Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act, House Bill 1303. The first clip is Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler speaking last January in defense of the SCORE statewide voter registration database. You might recall that last year, the online voter registration interface […]
Joe Hanel and Stefanie Dazio of the Durango Herald report: Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall voted Wednesday in favor of a failed amendment that would have strengthened federal gun controls. Both Colorado Democrats supported a bipartisan amendment that would have expanded background checks to gun shows and the Internet. That amendment, one of seven […]
We were recently forwarded copies of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners candidate questionnaire for 2010 candidates for county sheriffs, with some responses from now-incumbent sheriffs. As you are probably aware, an ad hoc coalition of county sheriffs is threatening to sue, along with the right-wing Independence Institute, to block the two principal gun safety bills passed […]
As the Durango Herald's Joe Hanel reports: Legislators at last began moving on the final piece of their gun-violence agenda Tuesday with the first of two bills addressing people with dangerous mental problems. Sponsors have scaled back their original plan to allow mental-health professionals to flag possibly dangerous patients and keep them from buying guns, […]
We get a lot of email newsletter updates from Colorado legislators in both parties. Most of them are mundane and loaded with canned rhetoric about the legislative session, in between event announcements and other routine constituent communications. We've talked this year about, for example, false statements made in legislative communications about gun safety bills, but […]
We've written repeatedly in this space of our belief that we will look back on the "rise" of the Tea Party as the beginning of the end for the Republican Party. Some of the "grown-ups" in the GOP have recognized the inherent problem of trying to solve every election failure by becoming more conservative the […]
