Pueblo Chieftain - Referendums C&D An apology, of sorts, from SoapBlox Colorado:, "I kid the Chieftain because they are so conservative and not particularly good at what they do, but sometimes they do do the right thing." Category: Denver November 2005 Election 5:55:44 PM    comment []

Referenda C and D Here's Part II of the Rocky Mountain News' series detailing individual voters' views of Referendums C and D [September 25, 2005, "Making a choice"]. From the article, "Kristol Taylor spent most of 2004 helping convince metro-area voters of the wisdom of investing $4.7 billion into expanding light rail through RTD's FasTracks initiative. But when it came to deciding whether to allow Colorado state government to spend more through Referendums C and D, the 23-year-old Aurora resident said it took her awhile to make up her mind. Initially, she wasn't sure how Ref C would affect her finances. The ballot measure calls for suspending state spending limits under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights for five years, allowing lawmakers to spend an estimated $3.7 billion they otherwise would have refunded to taxpayers." Meanwhile the Denver Post has the latest on the probe into the Independence Institute's funding of Anti-Referendum C media spots [September 26, 2005, "Probe of think-tank campaign faces delay"]. From the article, "The fight over a Golden think tank's role in the debate on Referendums C and D is scheduled for an administrative court hearing Oct. 5, but a new pre- hearing disagreement over evidence could result in delays."
