>>Refreshing POV.
From a Socialist wolf in Libertarian sheepskin?
Dreaming of Milk and Apples?
Paige is just parroting/pandering in response to the sentiment we Colorado Springs citizens declare in refusing to extend the City Council's no-limit credit card when we killed Measure 2c last November.
Paige likes to wrap himself up in the libertarian / TABOR (TAxpayer Bill Of Rights) flag - but where the $$ hits the river - he changes his tune: Councilman Paige advocates public funding, via mandatory raised water rates, of the SDS (Southern water Delivery System).
The SDS will benefit Colorado Spring's government-owned Utility Enterprise; and it will directly benefit Developers who, without SDS, can not build more McHouses in the same market where the Colorado Springs Housing authority already owns >350 properties. The CS Housing authority is managed by Paige's fellow Colorado Springs City Council member, Larry Small.
PUBLIC housing?
Daaaang, pretty swanky, ehh?
Now, is that more consistent with Libertarianism - OR - with Socialism? Hmmm.
When Colorado Springs Government Utility/Enterprise wants to expand its infrastructure, all it presently has to do is get a rubber stamp from Paige and the other puppets on the city council. That's a violation of the spirit of TABOR in the same way the Utility Enterprise's "Storm Water" fees were a violation. (We killed the Storm Water BS along with 2C last November)
If Councilman Paige was truly supportive of TABOR, he would simply advocate allowing the people of Colorado Springs to decide for themselves whether or not our financial resources should be used for the expansion of Government-owned Enterprises.... but, he doesn't.
Paige also advocates in favor of the Colorado Springs "medical" dope sellers. Stoned and stupid sheeple easier to fleece, perhaps?
So....
Quack, Waddle... Councilman PIGGIE!
and remember "NO SLEEPING IN BEDS IN THE FARMHOUSE" err {edit} "WIF SHEETS!".
