Just as predicted, these first two bills are really bad.  The third one might have resulted in some good recommendations so of course it was ‘postponed indefinitely’.   SB23-303   Reduce Property Taxes And Voter-approved Revenue Change Sounds good, eh? …

  Just when I think I’ve got them figured out, the legislators fool me.  This is usually the time when they introduce really bad ‘must pass’ bills and suspend parliamentary procedures to do so.  There are six more legislative days…

  Twenty five new bills dropped this week.  Of the 13 introduced in the House, 10 were introduced after the deadline.  In the Senate only 3 of the 12 were late.  I have copied the entry from the schedule: BILL…

  578 bills have been introduced so far, with only a few days to go.  You probably were so busy working to pay the government that you did not know you needed this many new laws—EVERY YEAR.   HB23-1289   Sustainable…

  Approximately 77 new bills this week, at least two of which seem to be good (2 & 3 below).  With only 6 weeks left in the session, if history is a teacher, we can expect some REALLY bad ones…

  Another ‘light’ week with only 17 new bills.  Most seem innocuous enough until you remember that every expansion of government is a reduction in liberty.  Maybe not yours.  Maybe not this time.  Just be patient—they will get to you. …

  Some of the bills I read have me convinced that our legislators try to see who can ‘outstupid’ whom.  Then I read others that are a display of pure evil.  See examples of both below by clicking here. HB23-1231  …

  Another ‘light ‘week from the ‘lightweights’ in the legislature—only 19 new bills, and   IT DOESN’T GET ANY WORSE THAN THIS.   HB23-1230   Prohibit Assault Weapons In Colorado ‘Concerning prohibitions on certain firearms used in public mass shootings’ YOU…
