Bradford hanging in, staying on...for now.

In what appears at first blush from headline to the last quarter of the story, a rehash of the rift between Bradford and McNulty, we find out that Bradford is staying on for now.

According to the Sentinel’s Charles Ashby,

…Bradford plans to defend herself before that ethics panel and challenge the traffic citations issued by Denver police.

She also decided she won’t become a Democrat or resign her seat.

“That’s completely off the table,” Bradford said in an interview. “Now, I want the ethics committee to do its work, and when I’m exonerated by them, we’ll see what happens next.”

While Bradford hasn’t yet decided if she’ll leave the party, her husband already has.

Along the way to finding out Bradford’s latest decision, we find out she’s the unofficial leader of the House chorus but decided not to take part in singing Happy Birthday on McNulty’s 39th birthday; that her husband had helped influence her into staying Republican for now and then stopped into Mesa County Elections on Friday and changed to Unaffiliated stating: “This was the last straw.”

So now we wait, I suppose, until the ethics committee meets to see what knew twists and turns the Laura saga takes.  Meanwhile, the leg. is in session and bills are being heard without the usual airing and public discussion here or in the mainstream news.
