Gov. Polis slides into lame duck status with years left in his term
Gov. Polis still has years left to serve before he is term-limited and yet it appears he’s already downshifting into the lame duck lane for the duration. We’re not the only ones who are noticing. It’s a damn good thing we don’t have any pressing problems in this state...
Dems pull a fast one to muddle future statewide ballot measures to cut taxes
Democrats pulled a fast one in the first hour of the first day of the special legislative session that is supposed to end property tax battles between tax-and-spend Dems and fiscal Republicans. Key players on both sides of the aisle were focused on crafting and...
