The Democratic State Executive Committee voted to back Referendums C and D yesterday, according to the Denver Post [July 10, 2004, "Partisan taint feared as Dems back Refs. C, D". From the article, "The state Democratic Party's executive committee backed on Saturday the budget referendums slated for the November ballot, lending the measures a boost but creating what some committee members believed will be a partisan taint. The endorsement gives proponents of Referendums C and D access to one of the state's two largest grassroots political networks, but the other one is already out of reach. The Republican Party has already indicated that it won't endorse the measures, Sheila MacDonald, campaign manager for 'Yes on C and D,' told the meeting in Fort Collins."
Fred Brown takes on the subject of defining a tax increase in his column from today's Denver Post [July 10. 2005, "Tax foes invent a definition"]. He writes, "There was an interesting exchange a couple of weeks ago between Gov. Bill Owens and former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey over what constitutes a tax increase. Armey, now co-chairman of a tax-fighting group called FreedomWorks, argued that it's a tax increase if the government spends more taxpayer money than it did before."
