Referendum C Bob Ewegen blasts Dick Armey (and John Andrews) over their views on TABOR and Referendum C/D in his column in today's Denver Post [May 28, 2005, "Taking the toxin out of TABOR"]. He writes, "Don't you love it when Washington politicians - whose knowledge of Colorado is limited to thinking that we look sort of square on a map - tell us how to run our state? The latest Beltway Boy to tell us ignorant provincials how to think is former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas. He co-authored a piece in the May 20 Denver Post demanding that we not touch a Taxpayer's Bill of Rights that he knows is so flawed that its most toxic provisions have been removed from a version he's trying to peddle to other states. Beltway Dick and his local acolyte, John Andrews, claimed TABOR 'has protected taxpayers by requiring voter approval for tax hikes - and by allowing government to grow no faster than inflation and population. It is being watched and imitated by tax reformers in other states.'" Category: Denver November 2005 Election 9:15:40 AM    comment []
