***Our 5 year old education blogger, little Eddie, made quite a splash with his thoughts on Obama’s speech to school children. It evidently struck a chord with one of the writer’s from the Westword, who penned this response. What sort of man picks a fight with a 5 year old??
***The good Guv Ritter gets called out by the National Taxpayers Union’s Joshua Culling for signing off on transparency, but not actually following through on it. As Colorado taxpayers, we were supposed to be able to pour through the state budget, line by line, thanks to the passing of HB 1288. Unfortunately, Ritter gave us the less than impressive TOPS (Transparency Online Portal) website. Line by line? Nope. Specifics? Nope. It’s a bunch of aggregate numbers, just as Joshua Culling points out in this NTU blog post. And Joshua should know, he testified on behalf of HB 1288 last year.
***Speaking of transparency, don’t forget the financial trouble PERA is still in. Amy Oliver touts senior fellow Barry Poulson’s PERA transparency paper in this PERA Colorado post.
***Justice Policy Center director Mike Krause made his way into this AntiWar.com piece on the overuse of the military, most often to make up for budget shortfalls.
