Colorado Water

Cortez Journal: "The basin of origin mitigation bill was killed Friday on a full vote of the House of Representatives by a 33-30 margin. Debate on HB 1040 lasted almost two hours, however when the final vote was taken, it almost mirrored the vote from last year's resolution that allowed Referendum A to be placed on the ballot for Colorado voters. After the overwhelming defeat of Referendum A, which would have provided a $4 billion blank check for unspecified water projects, Rep. John Salazar sat down with the interim water committee and Colorado Water Congress to reach a consensus on how Colorado should go forward with needed water infrastructure improvements. The result of those negotiations was HB 1040. 'One major obstacle to building new projects was the concern of rural Colorado that they not bear the brunt of all impacts of the new development. In order to overcome this fear, rural Colorado sought meaningful basin of origin protection,' said Salazar."

Denver November 2004 Election

Mitch Morrissey has a website. It has some good stuff but is missing both an e-mail list and a weblog. Mr. Morrissey, you're missing two opportunites to have a conversation with potential supporters.

Read my recommendations here for what you should do online. There are any number of posts here and here about utilizing weblogs.

Colorado Luis: "I agree with Democratic Party Chair Chris Gates: This makes it a two person race for the nomination between Bridges and Mike Miles. Should be cause for soul searching among Colorado Dems -- do we want to give the nomination to a guy whose primary qualification is his ability to fund his own campaign, or are we willing to dig into our own pockets and come up with the cash the guy who has been campaigning for two years, and who has impressed lots of people, will need to put up a fight?"

Update: Both sides of the FasTracks debate are gearing up to throw a bunch of dough at TV, according to the Denver Post [February 29, 2004, "Campaign for FasTracks promises to be contentious, expensive"]. Where are your weblogs? Better yet why not come together and argue the issues on a community weblog. Here's a link to a community weblog. Think about it. The definitive source for all things on both sides of the issue, aggregated in the same place, with links to the Post and the Rocky.

Update: Here's the coverage of Rutt Bridges announcement from the Denver Post [February 28, 2004, "Think-tank founder seeks Campbell's seat"].

Update: Here's the link to Rutt Bridges website. The website is nicely done in red, whie, and blue. They have an e-mail list.

Update: Lot's of speculation about Rutt Bridges' candidacy and it's effect on the Bighorn Center from Peter Blake in his column in yesterday's Rocky [February 28, 2004, "Blake: Bridges' run for Senate eases pressure on TABOR"].

2004 Presidential Election

Halley Suitt: "Whether Dean comes out publicly or not, I suspect Dean supporters will be the wild card on Super Tuesday and they'll go with Edwards." Don't you just hate the label "Deaniacs?"
