Yes on C & D TV spot The Vote Yes on C and D campaign has their first TV spot up. QuickTime and Windows Media is sort of inclusive but Linux users are left out. Category: Denver November 2005 Election 7:19:23 PM    comment []

Referendum C Here's an editorial from the Denver Post in favor of Referendum C [September 5, 2005, "Ref. C deserves passing grade"]. They write, "If Colorado voters turn down Referendum C, the impact on the state's colleges and universities will be fast and furious. Tuitions are sure to skyrocket, forcing some schools to contemplate privatizing while others slash programs and staff. Those are not just empty threats from proponents of the ballot measure to allow the state to spend more of the money it collects. If C doesn't pass, the state will be forced to cut another $400 million from its budget next year, and college administrators can sense that they will bear the brunt. Yet a bleak future for higher ed is still a hard sell on the campaign trail. There are thousands of Coloradans who, when they hear the words "higher education," immediately think of Ward Churchill, athletic sex scandals and binge drinking. Why not cut higher ed, they might ask." Category: Denver November 2005 Election 6:35:32 AM    comment []
