(Really, really shouldn’t have spammed us, folks – promoted by Colorado Pols) Last week, Pols took note of an editorial in the Daily Camera that came out against legislation aimed at reforming payday lending in Colorado. The bill asks lawmakers to allow voters to decide if payday lenders should be allowed to operate far above […]
From the Center of the Universe: The Well of the Senate, Wednesday: Colorado’s dynamic super-leader, Michael Bennet, sprang into action Wednesday. He delivered a speech the Senate in which he announced that he was introducing a raft of bills to solve the problems facing the United States. Delivering his stirring remarks with his patented scowl, […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Tim Hoover at the Post is reporting: Ritter, a Democrat, today suggested Denver should host the 2022 Winter Olympics. He said the state seriously pushed for attracting the 2018 Winter Olympics to Denver, but the U.S. Olympic Committee decided not to put in a bid. There’s still 2022, Ritter […]
Ouch! Get well soon, In Denver Times: The Governor’s Office released the following statement at 9:30am this morning. Shortly after 6 a.m. this morning, Gov. Ritter was involved in a bicycle accident at 23rd Ave. and High St. in Denver. He is being treated at Denver Health Medical Center for several injuries. It appears he […]
Not a wealth of coverage of yesterday’s appearances by gubernatorial candidates John Hickenlooper and Scott McInnis at the annual meeting of the Colorado Rural Electric Association, but the Durango Herald has a good story up today: Republican Scott McInnis took swipes at Democrat John Hickenlooper on Monday over taxes and climate change in their first […]
The Denver Post’s Jessica Fender reports, being her unfortunate duty and all: A bill aimed at requiring kids to strap on helmets when they’re biking, scooting, skateboarding or otherwise rolling down the street led this morning to some low-brow one-liners from House Republicans, who opposed the mandate. Rep. Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs, said if the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Raj Chohan, a reporter for Channel 4 News (CBS4), is leaving the station to become a lawyer. He and 9News’ Adam Schrager are known in political circles for, among other things, their on-air fact checking of political ads during election cycles. 9News’ ad analyses are called “Truth Tests.” CBS4’s […]
Here we are, just over a year since Democrats took virtually total power in the Federal government, and what has changed about those issues that they were screaming about running up to the election? We still have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but strangely, you don’t have the protesters, both in the real world and […]
Apparently every legislator on the Judiciary Committee got over 600 personally written emails today – that all happened to be identical. Boy what are the odds. Ok ladies, here’s a bit of advice. If you are trying to lobby legislators – don’t be a jerk. Yes having them get 600 emails shows that there are […]
Republican Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-2) believes African-Americans are worse off today than they were during slavery: “It seems like humanity is very gifted at hiding from something that’s obviously true. I mean in this country we had slavery for God knows how long. And now we look back on it and we say, ‘Well how […]
Restaurant Week. Every restaurant is packed with diners out to sample Denver’s culinary wares for $52.80 for two people. Good deal, right? Well sort of…. Owning a restaurant is a great thing, most owners love their customers and love talking and having fun with them. But the customer is not always right and sometimes the […]
Quick! Without looking name all of the current Colorado R Senate candidates. You can’t do it, can you? I couldn’t – I had to look them up. Sure, Norton. (*Which one?) And most of us here on Pols would get Buck and Wiens. Ok A few of you would get Cleve Tidwell. Is that all? […]
The Democratic power structure is pulling out all the stops as they ram Bennet down our throats. But how do the voters feel? Here’s how I feel: disgusted with President Obama, Mark Udall and others who think they can make this decision for us. Peacemonger’s sig line says he/she has reached overload on the political […]
I’ve been wondering since at least December where, when and how the earned media blitz will begin for the Romanoff campaign. Sure- he gets a lot of attention here on Colorado Pols, and he did have a press conference in January to confirm he was running or something. But when Romjue joined the campaign in […]
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is busily picking apart the recent interview of Senate candidate Jane Norton on the Fox News Channel–and we think they’ve got an interesting angle here, though not the one you see at first glance: Colorado families struggling with unemployment and economic challenges got their answer yesterday on if Senate […]
Today has brought yet another negative, name-calling broadcast e-mail from the Romanoff campaign, this one a message from Mike Miles that says in part: Andrew is the only candidate in the race for the United States Senate in either party who has made a commitment to refuse special interest PAC contributions. He has taken a […]
Mark it down. Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010: The date that the Andrew Romanoff for Senate campaign officially “jumped the shark.” Romanoff’s campaign just sent out an email today from none other than former U.S. Senate hopeful Mike Miles. The full text of the email is after the jump, but here’s a smidgen: So let’s help […]
This just in from the principal Service Employees International Union (SEIU) local for Colorado, they’ve endorsed Sen. Michael Bennet in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Full release follows–says Local 105 executive board member Dee Ann Blaine, “There are 2,500 Colorado healthcare workers in Local 105, making us the largest healthcare union in the state. […]
One morning, Uncle Sam woke up and his military had been privatized. There had been no national debate. No congressional action. No sweeping White House order. It just happened. Today, the Pentagon employs more than 217,000 contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, doing the kind of work that enlisted military personnel would have performed in the […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) He denied playing footsie with Mazzeo under the table because, he said, he was wearing cowboy boots. That’d be Gov. Jim Gibbons (R-Nevada), who laid bare the embarrassing details of his life in a lengthy deposition taken by a lawyer representing Chrissy Mazzeo. The Las Vegas cocktail waitress has […]
Amendment 54 is dead. May it rest in peace, forever undisturbed. I think it is worth recalling what Amendment 54 was all about. While i don’t often rely upon the mainstream media to explain issues related to work life and democratic process, i think their perception of this bill gives a good overview. There was […]
We wrote last September that we were sick and tired of getting payday lending spam on our comments threads, so we were openly declaring war on the industry in Colorado. Now that a bill is being introduced to limit the crippling interest rates that payday lenders charge, it’s time for us to step up our […]
(Good questions. What are the implications if the “divorce” is granted? – promoted by Middle of the Road) POLS UPDATE: No stinking deal, says Senate President Brandon Shaffer to The Spot: “The Pinnacol transaction is not something we’re seriously looking at this year,” Shaffer, D-Longmont, told reporters. “I think it’s a bad deal on a […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) In response to an odd question about potential campaign finance violations at a recent GOP candidate forum, Republican state treasurer candidate (and regular Pols poster!) Ali Hasan said it was the job of God, not government, to enforce Colorado fundraising laws. Hasan’s invokation of God’s ultimate authority, reported by […]
Interesting news from former Rocky Mountain News reporter Kevin Flynn’s Inside Lane blog: But McInnis’ missed opportunity came when, after criticizing fee increases and the growing technology that would enable mileage-based road fees to replace the gas tax, he was asked what his ideas were for fixing the funding crisis. He said he had no […]
