This Week's Colorado 'Winners and Losers'
By Politicker StaffWith a “do nothing” Colorado legislature adjourning for the regular 2008 session, there are some clear winners, and maybe some winners that aren’t so clear. Meanwhile, a few congressional candidates continue their bumbling, stumbling ways and means, and a Colorado Senate candidate show he might not be ready for the rough and tumble of politics, politicker style. Find out who are this week's Winners and Losers in Colorado politics. | CLICK HERE

Skewer?
Rural Elbert County pays a part time County Attorney $200K. Does this pass the sniff test or does it smell like something isn't quite right?
Scheffel Legal Fees
Come on people ... everyone is entitled to earn a living. Just because his fees are a part the public record let's keep in mind that record can be manipulated by insinuation and innuendo. And that's what's happening here. Be smarter than that! There is no real reason to skewer the guy ...
Scheffel and Elbert County
There must be something behind this story or there would have been an explanation before this. What was Lawyer Scheffel paid so much to do and what's the big secret????
Do nothing?
I like that this do-nothing legislature managed to finally find funding for higher education, fund some much-needed infrastructure projects, support clean energy on several fronts including a net metering bill that allows people to affordably invest in getting off the grid, funding for k-12 education and more importantly finding ways to actually improve the deteriorating schools that we have.
Yeah... nothing like the days when legislators used to spend their time much more productively passing bills outlawing flag burning and mandating the posting of the 10 commandments in schools, or even going into special session to work endlessly on ineffective immigration laws.
