Don’t think of us as turning into California
Don’t think of it as Colorado turning into California. Think of it as Colorado turning into Berkeley, California. Our new governor is from Boulder, the Berkeley of the Rockies. Our new attorney general was the Dean of the University of Colorado law school, in Boulder. The majority leader in the state senate, the speaker of […]
What Sesame Street can teach us about Colorado Gives Day
I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid, and other than thinking that Cookie Monster and I were brothers separated as infants, I’d loved their little game, “one of these things is not like the others.” You’d get to choose which thing didn’t belong in the same group with the other things.

NO to taxes. YES to roads.
Colorado traffic congestion is so bad you can change a tire and not lose your place in line. Good thing our Fix Our Damn Roads effort is picking up steam and racking up endorsements. Not only has Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers come out strongly urging a YES vote, so has the Colorado Springs Gazette. […]
Isn’t is at least nice to be asked?
I mean, being able to say, “thanks, but no,” is such an empowering thing. Just ask all the women who keep turning me down. Well, that’s what Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights does. It requires government to ASK YOUR CONSENT before raising taxes or debt. Sadly, the courts have created so many ways around asking […]
