Hick’s calculated silence about Prop 103, combined with legislative issues from last year, made me wonder: Why is he a registered Dem and not a Republican?

The start of my list:

10. Cool with state-funded Douglas County voucher program.

9. Cool with more cuts to state public schools. (Silence on 103)

8. Cool with telling Senate Dems to support cuts to children health care, then letting them twist in the wind with shame after he vetoes bill.

7. Cool with letting the gas-and-oil boys have at it up on the Roan and Piceance.

6. Cool with letting Cotter keep its leaky uranium pond in Canon City.

5. Cool with no sick pay for workers.

4. Cool with tax cut shenanigans for $100K/job subsidy for Gaylord hotel development.

3. Cool with cuts that put Colorado near the bottom of nation in higher ed funding.

I’m sure there are other reasons I’m missing…
