Kelly Sloan: "Since Colorado has adopted a habit of legislating important questions by plebiscite, there are, as ever, several important questions on the ballot. For reasons that should seem apparent, Proposition 115, the prohibition on late-term abortions, edges out most of the others in scope of importance."

Kelly Sloan: "There is an old aphorism, popular in politics, that says if you are not at the table you are on the menu. One of the more important ballot measures Coloradans are being asked to consider this year is asking approval to surrender our place at the national table."

Kelly Sloan: "This is a busy election year, and, judging by the length of the ballot going out to them, the plebiscitary demands on the voters in Colorado are considerable. Expectantly, the contests for president, Senate, and certain ballot measures are receiving the bulk of the limelight, but considerable attention ought to be paid to local district attorney races."

Paula Noonan: "Colorado’s former Gov. Dick Lamm, an early prognosticator on the 'devil’s in the details' of economic growth, was the featured speaker in a podcast sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of a Steady State Economy. The premise of the Center is that an ever-growing world economy is unsustainable for earth’s environment."

Paula Noonan: "Colorado is disadvantaged with this anachronism as a state with growing population."

Paula Noonan: "It’s time to give some props to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment."

Hal Bidlack: "Amid a hyper-partisan election, I’m pleased to report that many of your elected officials are actually doing their job."

Hal Bidlack: "While I do not care for his music, I admit I was impressed (as a rank amateur guitar player myself) by Ted Nugent’s amazing skill on his fretboard. And I would think that his opinions on guitar technique would be both valid and expert. On wolves, not so much."

Hal Bidlack: "Do you know who is on the front lines of protecting the vote here in the Centennial State? It is your local county clerk and the elections divisions of his or her office. A recent Colorado Politics story highlighted the hard and vital work being done by those clerks, and how they are the superheroes of this election, much to Donald Trump’s likely annoyance."

Jimmy Sengenberger: "I’ll be blunt: School districts are failing their students by pursuing remote learning.  Voters should not approve a single tax or bond measure requested by a school district that is not opened for in-person learning or is threatening to go back to full-remote."

Jimmy Sengenberger: "Tragedy has again engulfed our capital city."

Jimmy Sengenberger: "The stark contrast between the two candidates for U.S. Senate couldn’t have been any clearer."

Miller Hudson: "What have Colorado voters lost and gained as our election process evolved over the past four decades? And why have these changes occurred?"

For reasons I no longer recall, I attended the Club …

I’ve been pondering the consequences of political promises recently and tuned in to the presidential debate this past week in hopes of curating a few current samples of the art. That hope proved a bust. The single positive result following COVID-19’s assault on the White House may be that we are mercifully saved from another insult cage match.

Jon Caldara: "This year I am again voting for Trump. But this time I’m doing so proudly and without any hesitation."

Of all the many statewide questions on this year’s b…

Jon Caldara: "Colorado’s “business community” has gone AWOL this election. Have they deserted Colorado? If so, it’s kinda hard to blame them. They’ve been beat to hell during this progressive occupancy of Colorado."
