(Promoted by Colorado Pols) After U.S. Rep.

One of the biggest political stories of 2017 is almost certainly going to be one of the most notable stories of 2018 as well.

UPDATE: Lynn Bartels of the Denver Post updates this story, which includes a Colorado Pols mention: ProgressNow — and, privately, some Republicans — have jumped on the mistake Brauchler made last week when he tweeted during the trial, although the judge had been clear not to do so. Three jurors have been replaced in connection […]
I find a few interactions in this web of relationships surrounding SB10-001 particularly noteworthy: Colorado Supreme Court Justice Hood contributed to Democrat Bill Ritter's campaign for Governor, and "hosted campaign events" for Ritter. Governor Ritter initially appointed Justice Hood to the bench. Governor Ritter signed SB10-001 into law. Democratic Governor Hickenlooper appointed Hood to the […]

State.) In the past, Justice […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) Since day one in office, Gessler has had a number of problems as well a problem with numbers, as in figures. First, you recall, it was his salary figure. Too low. Then he said there was the “pretty high incidence” of fraud (implying a BIG number) in Denver’s 2009 […]
