Of course the C-Springs city council supports C and D. They know what it takes to provide gov’t services. Hefley hasn’t a clue.
The unreported fact–in Colorado Springs and elsewhere–is that virtually all the Republican legislators now so vociferously opposing Ref. C were as recently as a few months ago supporting far more expansive measures. Hefley, Wiens, May, Mcelhaney, Stengel–virtually all of ’em–were voting “aye”. Rarely have so many shifted so quickly for short term political gain. The Colorado Springs City Council is simply where the C.S. legislators were..before cowardice set in.
Now that’s just childish, delphic. You know perfectly well that all the proposals that were voted on last year – including all the ones that conservative republicans supported – included changes to Amendment 23. The conservatives supported larger, more expensive programs because they included a balanced approach to both spending and revenues. To suggest any duplicity because they don’t support the one-sided Ref C is just silly.
delphic, you sound like one of the governor’s always-go-negative lackeys. casting aspersions on your opponents detracts from the debate – get a new set of talking points. preferably an accurate set.
Wow,aren’t we a wee bit touchy..methinks I struck a nerve. “Lackeys” casting “aspersions”? The facts are exactly as I wrote. Check out the bills that passed the House and were overwhelmingly approved by Senate Republicans to see who is correct. Incidentally, Stengel introduced a five year De-Brucing identical to Ref. C five months ago. How quickly some politicians find it convenient to change their stripes.
I think delphic and oracle are both right. I remember Keith King’s talking points on this issue and he and others were adamant that there would be no Tabor fix without an A23 fix. It was the main sticking point between his proposal and Romanoff’s.
This difference seems to have become obscure now, morphing into a classic battle between “Tax and spenders” and “Tabor defenders”. A bit disingenuous.
Once again this site suprises me. Do any of you have a clue on the history of the Colorado Springs City Council. Their track record on backing issues is dismall at best.
Colorado pols said, “A stark difference of opinion on TABOR reform is emerging between a few Republicans, many of whom are seeking higher office in 2006, and everybody else.” By everyone else, do you mean the 43% in favor of C, or the 42% of Coloradans opposed to C? Or the whopping 37% in favor of D….
Just speculating here on the author’s intent, but maybe you should take a look at the positions of actual Colorado public officials and answer your own question.
Possibly unlike you, I know a couple of them.
Deplhic is correct. Most of those anti-C&D legislators, including former Senate President Andrews and former Speaker Spradley, voted for much more expansive versions that actually made constitutional changes to TABOR. They defend their votes by saying that these measures also addressed Amendment 23. But what they won’t tell you is that Amendment 23 was only addressed in the most minimal way. One version, for example, made wholesale changes to TABOR and would have reduced TABOR rebates for eight years. Yet, as for A23, it only allowed the state to postpone some of its A23 obligations during a downturn, and then that money would have to be repaid with interest. Actually, it would have put more money into A23. Andrews voted yes. Spradley voted yes. McElhany voted yes. Hefley voted yes. To their credit, at least Schultheis, Harvey and Brophy all voted no. They have some sense of consistency. It’s HCR04-1001. Read the bill. Check the votes. It’s all right there. Legislators can’t run from those recorded votes.
