The Colorado Pols are reporting the Bill Ritter is defending Referendums C and D in a press release they received today. They write, "Ritter took aim at John Andrews, Marc Holtzman and Bob Beauprez over Referenda C&D. The salvo was a response to an article in today's Rocky Mountain News about a new ad from the 'NO on C&D' camp funded by Andrews' Backbone America Citizen's Alliance. The ad takes a partisan angle by portraying all Ref. C&D supporters as Democrats, which is a decent political strategy. What concerns Ritter, and in fairness is more than a little sneaky, is the 'fuzzy math' the ad speaks of."

The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that opponents of Referendum C plan to air a new radio ad today [August 18, 2005, "New anti-Ref C ad airs today on radio"]. From the article, "The Referendum C advertising skirmish continues today, as an ad attacking the Democratic Party and painting the tax reform measure as a partisan issue begins airing on a Denver radio station. Former state Senate President John Andrews, a Centennial Republican and leader in the opposition to Ref C, paid for the ad through an issue committee of his Backbone America Citizen's Alliance...In the final draft of its (Colorado Legislative Council) Ref C analysis, the nonpartisan Blue Book, which was prepared this month and will be mailed to voters across the state to provide information on ballot issues, says Ref C would cost taxpayers an average of $491 over five years."
Here's the link to the Backbone America website if you want to listen to the ad.
