Politcs West: "The liberal group ProgressNowAction has launched a $25,000 Internet ad campaign targeting Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer. The ads, running on Colorado newspaper and blog sites - including Denverpost.com - criticize Schaffer's alleged ties with the oil and gas industry."

Denver Business Journal: "Nine proposed ballot issues were filed this week by individuals aligned with trial lawyers in the state in apparent retaliation for a proposed amendment that would severely limit contingency fee compensation for lawyers in civil lawsuits."

More from the article:

The new proposed ballot measures target doctors, real estate brokers, corporate executives and homebuilders. For example:

- One initiative would revoke the license of a doctor found to have engaged in three or more incidents of medical malpractice. Another changes the rules governing the admission of certain evidence in medical malpractice cases.

- Another caps real estate sales commissions to no more than 6 percent on the first $250,000 of a real estate sale; limits it to 3 percent on sales between $250,000 and $500,000 and to just 1 percent on sales greater than $500,000.

- Executive compensation would be limited to no more than 50 times the compensation paid to the lowest paid employee in any given tax year under the provisions of one proposal.

- Caps on damages arising from construction defects would be increased from the current $250,000 to $750,000 under another proposal. A new triple damages provision would also be created for homebuilders who fail to respond to a claim by a homebuyer.
