Sage Naumann It has become quite difficult to offer a unique perspective on Colorado’s state legislature from a conservative perspective. It becomes a rote task of reciting numbers, reminding folks of the tab run up by past General Assemblies, combined with typing the word “no” repeatedly. During my last appearance on PBS12’s “Colorado Inside Out”,…

Sage Naumann The recent investigation by Colorado Public Radio’s Ben Markus into Denver’s “Caring for Denver” program and the Denver Auditor’s report on the city’s shelters have yet again highlighted what we already know: government usually fails to provide services in an effective manner that is conscientious of the real cost to taxpayers. Back in…

Sage Naumann As our legislators — both returning and newly-elected — plan to kick off the next session of the Colorado General Assembly in January, budget writers are already warning of deep cuts and difficult decisions on the horizon. Thankfully, our wise leaders have quickly identified the problem: you and the rest of those pesky tightwads who…

Sage Naumann The formation of our constitutional, democratic republic was the liberating elixir for a species confined by a perpetual cycle of tribalistic bloodshed, opportunistic tyranny and economic stagnation.

Sage Naumann The electorate rewards politicians with solutions. The grander, the better. Be it the Green New Deal or Project 2025, thousands of words are spilled with the goal of convincing voters their side has the solutions to all their problems. When it comes to making progress on the issue of housing supply in Colorado,…

Sage Naumann This insiders’ undercut was undoubtedly the low point in an otherwise uneventful end to this year’s legislative session. Senate Bill 24-210, a bipartisan election reform bill, was not particularly contentious as it made its way through the legislature. As is the case with many bills of this nature, some last-minute changes can be…

Sage Naumann In multiple states, and across Europe, we are witnessing an abandonment of a culture of life. Assisted suicide is only the latest indicator of this shift, and its wide adoption should give us serious pause. Admittedly, the libertarian portion of my brain is at war with my heart on the matter of assisted…
