Referendum D

Doug Bruce has been vilified this term by both Democrats and Republicans. And with a new compromise measure that threatens to scrap much of TABOR in return for concessions on Amendment 23, some insiders are guessing much of the hostilty towards Bruce from the right side of the aisle was aimed at helping passage of the measure. Either way TABOR supporters are promising a fight to retain the TABOR spending restrictions.  

“Yeah, Hillman took his 30 pieces of silver,” said one GOP official. “But the difference between he and Judas is that at least Judas had the good sense to hang himself. Hillman acts like he deserves a promotion.”
