(Promoted by Colorado Pols) It’s gotten to the point where everyone in Colorado wants politicians to find a way, somehow, to tax the money big corporations hide to avoid paying taxes, and then to use the tax revenue from these hidden profits on education. Okay, not everyone wants this but, seriously, most of us do. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) View image | gettyimages.com Creating yet another gaping hole at Denver’s leading news outlet, Alicia Caldwell ended a twelve-year run at The Denver Post Tuesday, when she left the newspaper for a job as communications director for the Colorado Department of Human Services. Caldwell started at The Post in 2003 as […]
NEW YORK CITY – People, it’s not OK to rejoice over bad news – but executives with VH1 quietly threw a little party last week after a Colorado state representative uttered a boorish, reprehensible, senseless, beyond forgiveness-through-bribery, Biblically cherry-picked, heartless, poorly-timed, politically destructive comment about a complete stranger’s unthinkably painful tragedy. Why celebrate? It was […]
(Oops! The Nevilles appear busted – Promoted by Colorado Pols) On his Facebook page yesterday, KLZ AM-560 radio host Ken Clark posted a document and posed the question, “This is Dan Thurlow’s voting record so far, what do you think?” Clark freely acknowledged that he didn’t write the piece, which criticizes Thurlow, a Republican who’s been voting […]
The dress is definitely bluish-brown. It's time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here's a good example). TOP OF MIND TODAY… ► Today is the deadline for Congress to authorize funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), so […]
We've installed fresh batteries in the Colorado Pols Quadruple Doppler (with cheese), which is predicting as much as 10 feet of snow today. Or maybe less. It's time to Get More Smarter with Colorado Pols. If you think we missed something important, please include the link in the comments below (here's a good example). TOP […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week I reported that Tea-Party radio hosts Ken Clark (KLZ 560-AM) and Peter Boyles (KNUS 710-AM), along with Colorado's GOP State Senate Caucus Chair Vicki Marble, believe undocumented immigrants, as Marble put it, "bring the diseases. They bring whatever from across the border — things we haven’t seen in decades and thought we eradicated. Our whole […]
#459590250 / gettyimages.com A quick roundup on a story that has dominated national headlines since Monday evening and resulted in two consecutive days now of protests in Denver, Colorado Springs, and elsewhere–CNN: Like Ferguson, outrage over the grand jury's decision escalated from coast to coast, with protests in about 170 cities nationwide. From New […]
A very important point to keep in mind is we are not fighting an enemy, we are competing with opponents. The Republicans are not evil, they don’t hate America, and they are not out to destroy the middle class. They have a different approach on fundamental questions, but that is why we have elections, to […]
UPDATE: 9NEWS' Brandon Rittiman says the station has not refused the ad, but it isn't running there: Management tells me we have not refused the ad– RGA has not paid for any more ads w/ us at this time. They do cost $… @ChadMLadwig — Brandon Rittiman (@BrandonRittiman) October 28, 2014 To be clear, our original […]
MONDAY UPDATE: Mother Jones reports this afternoon on what James O'Keefe is apparently up to in Colorado–not surprisingly, trying to bait progressive GOTV groups into either committing or condoning voter fraud. Also not surprising, he hasn't found any takers: James O'Keefe, the conservative provocateur, has been on the prowl in Colorado, the setting of a close Senate race between Democratic incumbent Mark […]
Photo courtesy Jefferson County Education Association Following this week's adoption of a watered-down version of a highly controversial curriculum review of Jefferson County's AP U.S. History, students, teachers, and other residents turned out during yesterday afternoon's rush hour for a huge protest. Groups of protesters took up positions at intersections along 22 miles of Wadsworth Boulevard, Jefferson County's highest-traffic […]
UPDATE: The College Board weighs in strongly in support of students protesting against the Jefferson County school board's proposed "censorship" of the AP history framework, via 9NEWS: "The College Board's Advanced Placement Program® supports the actions taken by students in Jefferson County, Colorado to protest a school board member's request to censor aspects of the […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Poor Bo. He just can't catch a break from the Pueblo Chieftain. To inform the public, Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz voluntarily advised the Pueblo Chieftain about faulty driver's licenses distributed by a Colorado Revenue Department vendor, MorphoTrust. The state IDs and licenses were supposed to have a black band across the top, […]
Oops. If I were the folks at Xcel, that's what I'd be saying. For the last year they've been trying to get rid of net metering here in Colorado (just like other utilities – and the Koch brothers – have been trying to do nationally). Well it turns out, according to this press release from the […]
Victor “Everyone Loves” Head is all choked up about a Federal program, Operation Choke Point (OCP). In an interview with Jennifer Kerns, Head claimed that credit card services for Pueblo Freedom and Rights (PFR) were suddenly cut off the week before the recall elections in 2013. Other right –wing groups also reported sudden and mysterious […]
A story from KUNC's Bente Birkeland showcases a key emerging lie from Republicans in defense of U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner. As readers know, Gardner disavowed his longstanding support for Colorado's "Personhood" abortion ban ballot initiatives shortly after entering the U.S. Senate race. Gardner claims that despite supporting Personhood over repeated elections, he never realized the measure could […]
The Jefferson County School Board has been in a bit of upheaval since three hard-right Republicans were elected last fall. The new board, led by President Ken Witt, began breaking laws and writing out big checks from their first day on the job. Witt and friends have even made it a point to avoid answering […]
While working for the most politically active agency in Colorado state government, Colorado PERA administrators must balance scores of political relationships, and divide hundreds of thousands of Colorado PERA trust fund dollars each year among hired Colorado PERA lobbyists. These PERA lobbyists seek to effect the political goals of the Colorado PERA Board of Trustees, […]
UPDATE: The Colorado Independent takes a look at Rep. Cory Gardner and his political maneuvers around Obamacare, and includes a link to today's House Committee hearing in which Gardner tries desperately to get insurance executives to answer his questions in the most anti-Obamacare fashion possible. You can see from Gardner's five minutes of questioning below […]
Just over one month ago, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner shocked Colorado politics by abruptly reversing himself on his longstanding and public support for the "Personhood" abortion bans, which were rejected overwhelmingly by voters in 2008 and 2010. Gardner attempted to pull this reversal off with a minimum of press coverage though a time-honored […]
Denver Post Politics Editor Chuck Plunkett wrote a blog post yesterday titled, “No Facts Hidden From Coffman Story.” The most effective way to convince us that no facts were hidden would be for Plunkett to explain his thinking as well as re-publish the entire Coffman article, which Plunkett removed from The Post’s website Tuesday night. […]
Denver Post Politics Editor Chuck Plunkett has obviously never heard about the number one rule of holes: STOP DIGGING! Yesterday we followed a rather bizarre decision by Plunkett to remove a story posted to the newspaper's political blog "The Spot." Plunkett took down a story Tuesday night about Republican Congressman Mike Coffman written by reporter […]
As the Denver Post reports: A proposal to expand Interstate 70 to five lanes in each direction through northeast Denver is attracting the ire of Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher, who feels the idea doesn't make sense for neighborhoods and the city as a whole. Widening the highway to 10 lanes when people are driving less […]
As the Rocky Mountain News reports today, another stunning turnabout in the Colorado U.S. Senate race: Less than two weeks after Republican U.S. Senate candidate Cory Gardner announced he could no longer support the so-called "Personhood" abortion bans that appeared on the Colorado ballot in prior years, today Gardner announced that he "takes it all […]
