Well, they passed all 9 of Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's tax package to "pay for infrastructure." We're now in $550 million more debt. Until today, "Hick" successfully sold 14 new tax packages to Denverites in the short time since his first election. Now it's 15. I'm sure glad I no longer live in Denver proper. The thing I want to know is why they need so much MORE money, just for "infrastructure?" Shouldn't that be planned and paid for out of all the money they've already overtaxed us? They're "awash" in money, yet they continue to "poor-mouth" us to get more. I remember an old boss of mine who continually "poor-mouthed" us so he wouldn't have to give anybody any raises. The best way to get more and more money out of ANYBODY is to convince them you're broke. I like "Hick, as a person. But he has proven he's just another "tax and spend Democrat." Even so, they still can't "get it right" when it comes to counting votes yet again. They made such a mess of it in the last presidential election that Denver changed its entire method of counting votes. What's really bad about this is that this same thing is happening all over the country. They're "poor-mouthing" us and convincing us they're broke, while in actuality, they're awash in money.
