  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…

  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…
