Denver November 2005 Election
Here's an early look at who is for and against the Colorado budget compromise from the Rocky Mountain News [March 19, 2005, "Push for budget deal to mirror FasTracks"]. From the article, "Business leaders figure to lead - and largely finance - the charge to pass the budget measure, which would ask voters to give up five years of tax refunds to help programs such as higher education and health care. They'll be joined by Gov. Bill Owens, top legislative Democrats and, proponents hope, crews of civic leaders statewide. A similar coalition pumped about $3.5 million into the FasTracks campaign, including $500,000 from the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber will get involved heavily in the budget campaign, too, its president said this week. Colorado's taxpayers-rights activists will lead the opposition, including Independence Institute President Jon Caldara and the state chapter of the Club for Growth."
