Colorado Sun says Mike Lynch has stepped down from leadership.
CPR saying the same (Not that I don't trust Colorado Sun, it's just nice to see confirmation from another source.)
I would like to believe that if someone with the temperment of Donald Trump wanted to advance the causes that I believe in (affordable healthcare, social programs to reduce the load on public safety, public education, etc.) that I would still not support such a person for any public office, especially the President.
However I find it hard to believe that someone with Trump's temperment could be the kind of person to advance the causes I believe in.
This is in response to thinking of folks who say "Yeah, Trump is a fucking lunatic and I don't trust him as far as I could throw him, but I like his policies."
A Republican named Heather Graham just won the Pueblo Mayor's election, defeating the incumbent. No, not THAT Heather Graham, baby. Not sure that's great news for hopes of flipping CD3, since Pueblo's the largest debatably blue city in the district, but local elections usually have unique backstories. https://www.chieftain.com/story/news/politics/elections/local/2024/01/23/heather-graham-wins-2024-pueblo-mayoral-runoff-against-nick-gradisar/72330345007/
I hate to trash Polis 2 days in a row, but he just canned the venerable Bernie Buescher from the State Board of Equalization, and replaced him with a Republican which flipped the Board majority. Again this whole thing is debatable, but it seems to me that Buescher made an adult decision not to approve a Douglas County property tax cutting decision, that according to some sources would have forced the state to backfill lost revenues for a very wealthy county.
Don't get me wrong, I'll take a tax cut if it comes my way, but I do know they can have consequences for fiscal matters and services for those who can't otherwise afford them. Damn the torpedoes, I guess.
