I remember reading maybe two years ago that Colorado was that was one of the few states not flirting with bankruptcy. Most states had wildly expanded government during the heady years of the Internet Tech boom and were then in trouble after the Internet Tech bust.

The only reason that Colorado was not on the verge of bankruptcy was that it had passed TABOR and had limited the expansion of government to the rate of inflation

These 33 idiots would rather their state be on the brink than have to live within the borders of what the people can be convinced is necessary spending.

They can’t even be bothered to pay attention to current national event and divine the simple lessons of their state’s recent history but they expect free reign over the financial affairs of their state and local governments. I think not.

OH WAAA, you voted me in but you won’t let me play with the money. Oh Boo Hoo, I want to spend your money.

I didn’t know that about Colorado limiting the spending. I wonder if such a vote would pass now? And why isn’t this more publicized....I know ..rhetorical question.

Pretty dang shocking that these people would have the nerve to attempt this lawsuit. It boggles the mind.
