Westword apparently can’t get enough of my Amendment 54 puppies and kitties ads.
It’s unfortunate, however, that the occasion for revisiting these gems is Judge Catherine Lemon’s issuing of a temporary injunction against the implementation of the donations portion of Amendment 54.
Remember, Colorado: from TABOR to transparency, it doesn’t matter what you vote for… if Big Labor and its [...]

From Saturday’s The Stump:
MEOW! CATFIGHT OVER BALLOT MEASURES
The latest mailing against Amendments 47 (right to work), 49 (union paycheck deductions) and 54 (government contracting) shows Godzilla stepping on a firehouse.
