Municipal Fascists, Labor Leaders, and the Justices Who Love Them Both
A Face the State Editorial
June 4, 2008If the nine black robes on the U.S. Supreme Court rule the roost, it's not for a lack of competition from right here in Colorado.
Ritter's arrogance, undeterred
A Face the State Editorial
June 2, 2008Give credit where credit is due. Gov. Bill Ritter is gutsy these days. Even after having a controversial tax increase he championed slapped down in district court as unconstitutional, he remains undeterred. The Governor will use your tax dollars to backfill his endless promises to taxpayers.
Obama Courts Unions At Expense of Kids
A Face the State Editorial
May 30, 2008Barack Obama wants Western voters to believe he visited an innovative school north of Denver yesterday to highlight his commitment to educational progress. His real purpose: Winning the support of affluent unions seeking to stifle real educational reforms.
Court decision kills hope for real campaign finance reform
A Face the State Editorial
May 28, 2008What is illegal coordination under Colorado’s tough campaign finance laws? It all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is. At least if you sit on the Colorado Supreme Court.

A sad era for the CU journalism school
A Face the State Editorial

See you next session and have a great summer vacation, okay?
Nannyists at the 11th hour
A Face the State Editorial

Time for Tapia to head home?
A Face the State Editorial
April 18, 2008At a Capitol hearing on his alleged ethics violation this week, state Sen. Abel Tapia, D-Pueblo, told his fellow legislators, “We all have ties, particularly if we have lives.” Perhaps true, but for the rest of us, our “ties” don’t result in half-million dollar contracts.
Colorado's Big Labor Establishment Continues Anti-Worker Push
A Face the State Editorial
April 2, 2008As Gov. Bill Ritter continues his efforts to make his coalition with Big Labor look reasonable, one Colorado union is showing just how out of touch with reality union bosses really are.
Have you hugged a liberal protester today?
A Face the State Editorial
March 31, 2008When John McCain visited Denver Thursday, he was met with a now predictable throng of tireless liberal protesters. As it turns out, their rhetoric may just be what helps his chances most with mainstream voters in this November’s election.
