And I love to see good reporting. Kudos to Marshall.
Great story! It’s easy to talk about cutting taxes and fees in the abstract and quite another to see the impact on your community. Nice story Bell.
thread building after the story.
“This is just scare tactics”
“Keep the government out of my wallet”
“I don’t have any kids and I don’t go to the public library”
One of the commenters uses the old saw: I’d rather just give the money straight to my local school and cut out the cost of gov’t bureaucracy.
ugh.
should go down to ElPaso and explain progressivism to these Colorado voters.
EPCounty will not be carried by the D Senate candidate in the 2010 general. But a D candiate who can’t win at least 35% is in trouble state wide.
and explain why gas should be $6-$7/gal.
It won’t help- but I love talking fuel taxes with riled up Coloradoans.
that reporter has some serious guts. Has he put his resume out, yet?
If McInnis frames the election as giving people money back – advantage McInnis. If Ritter can frame it as the government provides needed services – advantage Ritter.
Too many Dem office holders are afraid to make a straight up argument for government and what taxes buy and that leaves them on the defensive.
A small market TV reporter got a solid story out of looking at the proposals and examining the simple questions underlying its impact. Probably took him maybe an hour to do and verify the math.
Maybe some of the other “mainstream” media in the state should follow his lead and do some journalism on issues with a direct impact on their readers instead of devoting scarce news hole and reporting time to issues that — if they ever did any real readership surveys — would barely move the needle.
