UPDATE #2: House Speaker Frank McNulty floats trial blame-game balloons in an interview with LGBT publication Out Front Colorado today: “Frankly, the supporters of Senate Bill 2 should be the ones most angry about the Senate Democrats for playing politics with their lives,” [McNulty] said during an interview with Out Front Colorado… “I certainly understand […]
It’s been mentioned a few times in the course of the long GOP presidential primary season, but we wanted to make sure the local and regional origins of a particular line frequently employed by Mitt Romney on immigration policy–that he would not forcibly deport illegal immigrants, but create harsh conditions that would lead to them […]
The Durango Herald’s Joe Hanel reports on yesterday’s hearing of the congressional House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources at the Colorado state capitol: Bruce Baizel of Durango, a lawyer for Earthworks Oil and Gas Accountability Project, was one of about a dozen people to testify in the congressional hearing. “Our view is that we […]
UPDATE 9:35PM: With a politically huge “yes” vote from GOP Rep. B.J. Nikkel, Senate Bill 2 passes House Judiciary and heads for the House Finance Committee. —– UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver paper reports that Speaker Frank McNulty will not remove Rep. B.J. Nikkel from her post on the House Judiciary Committee ahead of […]
While SB-2, this year’s civil unions bill, handily passed the State Senate last week, its future in the House is markedly less certain. This Saturday’s town hall on the issue, then, could as much be a discussion on why the legislation didn’t pass as why it did.
From the Colorado House Democrats:
Town Hall Meeting with Rep. Max Tyler, Rep. Andy Kerr, Sen. Betty Boyd, & Sen. Cheri Jahn
WHAT: Join the Lakewood legislative delegation for a town hall meeting this Saturday to discuss Civil Unions in Colorado. The Civil Unions bill was recently passed in the Senate and will be debated in the House in the week ahead.
WHO: Rep. Max Tyler (D-Lakewood)
Rep. Andy Kerr (D-Lakewood)
Sen. Betty Boyd (D-Lakewood)
Sen. Cheri Jahn (D-Wheat Ridge)WHERE: Lakewood Cultural Center (map)
470 S. Allison Parkway
Lakewood, CO 80226WHEN: Saturday, May 5, 2012 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Notably absent from Saturday’s roster is State Representative Ken “Homosexuality is a behavior” Summers — he’ll undoubtedly vote to kill SB-2 if it makes it to the House floor. Still, you have to wonder: if the point of these town halls is to educate voters, doesn’t it make sense to invite every area politician, no matter their stance on any particular issue? Summers has participated in town-halls with Democrats before, so it’s unusual that he’s not coming to this one.
Of course, there’s no guarantee that SB-2 will even be “debated in the House” at all, so this whole town hall, with or without Ken Summers, might just be an exercise in futility.
As the Colorado Independent’s Scot Kersgaard reports: On the one hand, you have Jared Polis, an openly gay, socially progressive multimillionaire as the incumbent Democrat in Colorado’s Second Congressional District. On the other hand, you have two very different Republicans running for the chance to run against Polis. You have current Colorado State Senator Kevin […]
UPDATE: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols: “I appreciate how women feel about this but this is about religious freedom,” [GOP Sen. Ellen] Roberts said, venting about the tenor of the debate that, in her view, has been “twisted” into a partisan fight… “This issue is important in accommodating religious liberty in health care. Government has moved […]
9NEWS’ Jeffrey Wolf reports: Exactly one month after the Lower North Fork Fire started, Colorado House Republicans introduced legislation late Thursday aimed at compensating victims… “We’re going to move forward, the governor can catch up with us when it gets to his desk,” Republican House Speaker Frank McNulty said on Tuesday while announcing a plan […]
The Pueblo Chieftain’s Patrick Malone reports: The push for a discount rate of college tuition for illegal immigrants educated in Colorado crossed a line Monday that it has never breached before. The Republican-controlled House Education Committee passed SB15 on a 7-6 vote. A similar proposal last year died at the same juncture in the legislative […]
Democrats Jovan Melton and Terry Todd faced off last night in their first debate since Melton won over 61% of the vote at last month’s county assembly.
At first glance, Melton’s early inroads appear rather shocking: how could a young upstart take down the husband of the incumbent officeholder? His close relationships with several Denver-area movers and shakers, however, have propelled him firmly into frontrunner status. With just two months left until election day, Melton’s sitting pretty.
He can’t get too comfortable, though. Todd really wants this seat, and he enjoys greater name recognition than his opponent because Aurora Democrats are accustomed to seeing Todd’s last name on yard signs all over town. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if many Dems vote for Terry assuming they were literally just voting to re-elect his wife. Perhaps that’s the case metaphorically as well.
We want to know: who do you think will win the Democratic primary in HD-41? As always, vote for the candidate you think will win, not the candidate you’d like to see get elected.
