As the Grand Junction Sentinel reports: A move by the Joint Budget Committee to cut $300 million from spending for higher education marks “one of the most important policy shifts this state has seen in a very, very long time,” Associated Student Government President Adam Davenport said Thursday as about 70 Mesa State students gathered […]
We’ve had a few adjectives to apply to Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry over the last few months, but “stupid” has never been one of them. And we’re not above pointing out when possible gubernatorial candidate Penry actually says something quite smart, and reflective of strategic thinking–as the AP reported earlier this week: A bill […]
The Denver Post follows up on yesterday’s “big story” that Colorado Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet have ganged up with other “moderate” Democrats to do…the stuff that moderates do (more on that in a moment). Both Mark Udall and Michael Bennet have joined a group of Senate Democrats who Wednesday rolled out a centrist […]
The Denver Post reported this morning: The Senate on Tuesday postponed debating a bill to repeal a growth limit on the state budget as Democrats and Republicans discussed alternate approaches that might preserve funding for road construction… The debate over the Arveschoug-Bird provision, which limits growth in the state’s general fund to 6 percent a […]
There’s no way we could make up what Politics West just reported: Sometimes at the state Capitol, the debates fly less like arrows and more like boomerangs that come around and smack you in the back of the head. Such was the case today, when Republicans stood up to voice concerns over a bill authorizing […]
A faction of Colorado Republican Senators have been expending vast amounts of humid air all evening, trying to dilute, kill or otherwise exact political capital from Senate Bill 228–emerging as by far the biggest intra-GOP battle of this year’s legislative session, SB-228 will repeal the statutory Arveschoug-Bird general fund spending limit. It looks like a […]
The Denver Post reports: Some Republicans said the comments also complicate the party’s efforts to embrace a new image and win over voters who have turned to Democrats in recent election cycles. Sean Duffy, a political consultant who was a senior aide to Gov. Bill Owens, said Republicans have to do a better job of […]
The Denver Post reports on initial passage today in the Senate of SB-88, which would extend limited health benefits to same-sex partners of Colorado state employees. Did you know, gentle reader, that the Bible declares homosexuality punishable by death? Scott Renfroe does. After a debate that saw one lawmaker quoting Bible verses and another calling […]
Macrocosm for a dynamic we also see at work here in Colorado as reality hits conservative ideological predilections like a bus. The New York Times reports: Republican governors split sharply during the weekend over how to respond to the economic crisis, a debate whose outcome will go a long way toward shaping how the national […]
UPDATE: Good stuff from Westword’s Melanie Asmar: Malkin suggests to Rocky reporter David Montero that “Swastika Guy,” as he’s come to be known, may have been a “ringer” trying to discredit her by slipping into the mass of people waiting for a Malkin photo-op after the rally. But if Swastika Guy was a left-leaning operative, […]
