Here's an article from the Denver Post about the new TV ad, featuring Marc Holtzman, in opposition to Referendums C and D [September 15, 2005, "Refs. C, D ad throws fat on the fire"]. From the article, "Gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman jumped into the battle over this fall's budget referendums by appearing in a television ad Wednesday that ignited nasty rhe toric between Republicans on opposite sides of the campaign. In the ad, Holtzman accuses proponents of Referendums C and D - who include his former boss, Gov. Bill Owens - of wanting a $5 billion "blank check" for pork-barrel spending projects. The ad includes a clip of snorting pigs to emphasize the point."
Coyote Gulch saw the ad last night but failed to get the URL. We don't know if the ad is posted online anywhere but we're looking.
Here's an opinion piece in support of Referendums C and D from the Denver Post [September 15, 2005, "Take caution, voters"]. From the article, "As the tragedy in New Orleans makes clear, strong government services are essential to the health and well-being of society."
Supporters of the referendums rallied at the State Capital last night, according to the Rocky Mountain News [September 15, 2005, "Rain doesn't deter C, D supporters"]. From the article, "The walkers converged on the state Capitol for an evening rally, where they were greeted by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. About 300 people heard both Republican and Democratic legislators predict that Colorado will face dire consequences if voters turn down the referendums in November."
