Marc Holtzman's involvement with the campaign against Referendums C and D is the subject of this article from the Denver Post [September 21, 2005, "Holtzman on hot seat over ads"]. From the article, "Republican gubernatorial candidate Marc Holtzman has picked a smart political strategy by seemingly tying his campaign to the fight against November's budget measures, but he may run into legal trouble with how he's financing that fight, political observers said Tuesday. Donors close to Holtzman are funding anti- Referendums C and D television ads featuring him, prompting accusations that he is using this year's campaign over the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights to collect big donations that would be illegal in a candidate race."
Coyote Gulch is dazed and confused over the legality of Holtzman's strategy but we recognize he's managed to get into the spotlight. 
The Denver Post editorial staff weighs in on the Holtzman controversy [September 21, 2005, "Holtzman gift skirts state campaign law"]. They write, "Holtzman's gubernatorial campaign is struggling on all fronts. Not only is Holtzman forced to defend the campaign contribution that went to a front group that is airing ads against Referendums C and D, but he's flailing away on fundamental fiscal issues - undermining his persona as an astute businessman by proposing to sidestep Colorado's constitutional prohibition on deficit spending with a phony sale and leaseback scheme to mortgage state buildings."
