When Will the Denver Post Get It Right?

I don’t understand why the Denver Post editorial board insists that Governor Hickenlooper repeal Governor Ritter’s decision to allow state workers to organize and collectively bargain.  

It sounds as though they are saying that state workers are the reason for the fiscal mess that we’re in right now.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Why don’t they go after the true cause of our problem and insist that President Obama order the justice department to begin investigations into the Wall Street bankers who stole hundreds of billions of dollars from our treasury and left middle class workers, including public employees, stuck with the tab?  Maybe they should shine a little light on the politicians who take their money and do their bidding before they talk about taking away collective bargaining rights.  I’d like to see a few of the real culprits frog-marched out of their thief dens with the cameras rolling.  It was their criminal behavior that was the source of this problem.  There were many things that Gov. Ritter did (or didn’t do) that I didn’t agree with.  But he got it right on this issue.  The Post just doesn’t get it.
