As Colorado lawmakers consider an overhaul of the way the state funds K-12 education, more people are noticing that schools are increasingly forced to pay for the past rather than to invest in the future. Our public schools must take money out of the classroom in order to pay for investment losses and unaffordable promises [...]

The President who cares mostly about himself
October 30th, 2012 · Comments Off
Richard Cohen, a reliably liberal columnist for the Washington Post, unloaded on Barack Obama in today’s op-ed. Not that he’s going to vote for Romney, but Cohen certainly hits the nail on the head about our Narcissist in Chief: “Obama never espoused a cause bigger than his own political survival.” … “Bobby Kennedy showed his [...]

Stop treating employers like adversaries
February 23rd, 2012 · Comments Off
At a time when state legislators should be doing everything possible to encourage job creation, a bill working its way through the Colorado Legislature unfairly paints employers as unreasonable and untrustworthy. Worse still, Senate Bill 3 gives trial lawyers another opportunity to sink their teeth into Colorado’s job creators – extracting “damages” where none exist [...]

Anti-TABOR lawsuit is cynical slap at voters
May 26th, 2011 · Comments Off
Because those doggone Coloradans just won’t vote to increase taxes often enough, a cadre of folks who just can’t bear to see state government spend less is asking a federal judge to do something voters won’t – to strike down voters’ constitutional right to approve tax increases.

Gerrymandering by any other name: still the same
May 2nd, 2011 · No Comments
Gerrymandering — the conspicuous, irregular manipulating of electoral district boundaries to advantage one political party or candidate — is widely considered a distasteful, if not downright corrupt, practice. Through gerrymandering, incumbent politicians seek to choose their voters rather than vice versa, packing their legislative or congressional districts with enough like-minded constituents to make re-election almost [...]

Trial lawyer logic: Right to sue more important than jobs
April 13th, 2011 · 2 Comments
To hear trial lawyers and their anti-business enablers tell it, the only thing that prevents Colorado employers from literally chaining workers to their desks is the “right to sue” their dastardly bosses. In this fantasy world, trial lawyers never bring frivolous lawsuits and fired employees never file dubious claims motivated but grudges against their former [...]

Unions, mandates at root of states’ budget stress
March 13th, 2011 · No Comments
The high-stakes battle to determine whether the people will serve government or government will serve the people is unfolding in state capitols. Wisconsin is the tip of the iceberg. Though not as fiscally imperiled as California or Illinois, Wisconsin is symbolic — the birthplace of government employee unions, once considered illegitimate even by liberal icons [...]

Are we serious about debt? We will soon find out
March 7th, 2011 · 3 Comments
The next two years will almost certainly determine whether Americans possess the resolve and courage necessary to save our country from fiscal disaster. If we do not, then the Americans will likely succumb to the European mindset that work is not a source of accomplishment or satisfaction but merely a way to bide time between [...]
