Colorado Legislature

Ever wonder who's the biggest egghead in Colorado's State Senate or the State House? Ever think "Oh my, that Senator is so dumb!" ... ? Well starting Tuesday, readers of PolitickerCO.com will get their say on who the smartest legislators are in a legislative showdown! Next week, click first and click often.

The Animal Massage Therapy lobby helped pass two crucial pieces of legislation this session. The first allowed them unfetered, unlicensed access to animals in the state and the other helped them throw the official state reptile contest to the Western Painted Turtles of Colorado, who were the undereptiles when the contest began. Beware: this unholy alliance of turtles and animal massage therapist will shortly throw their new-found weight around in Colorado.
