  • Guns, Grass, and God's Wrath, Colorado's Budget, Politics, and Elections
    Guns, Grass, and God’s Wrath, Colorado’s Budget, Politics, and Elections Michael J. Berry University of Colorado, Denver I. Introduction At the 2014 Democratic Party Assembly, incumbent Governor John Hickenlooper lamented that no “other state in the union . has been through as much as Colorado has in the past couple of years.” His statement was an implicit reference to a number of recent tragedies in the state. Among the most prominent were the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting, the callous murder of Department of Corrections director Tom Clements in his home in early 2013, and the most dev- astating forest fires and floods to ever hit the state in June and September 2013. Hickenlooper’s statement on the uniqueness of the state, however, could just as easily apply to the state’s politi- cal realm. Colorado received considerable notoriety from the commencement of recreational marijuana sales on January 1, 2014. In a carefully staged photo opportunity, Iraq war veteran, Sean Azzariti, made the first legal recreational marijuana purchase as the state embarked on a grand social ex- periment. The prior year witnessed the first recall elections in state history resulting in the re- moval of two Democratic legislators from office including Senate President John Morse. An ad- ditional state senator facing a strong recall effort resigned under pressure. These highly charged campaigns to remove legislators were in response to the enactment of several controversial gun control laws. The legalization of recreational marijuana and the fight over gun control grabbed the lion’s share of headlines in the state over the past year.

We could not agree with you more – the resurgence of our state from the current economic storm will come through private sector activity that is spurred by government partners creating an environment that provides certainty, stability and predictability. Undoubtedly, this is the most difficult legislative session in recent memory, and the challenge to carry out your stated goal of using these 120 days to help return Colorado’s economy to one that is again thriving has proven difficult to achieve. We recognize that 2010 is an election year, but we are gravely concerned about the partisan politics that are dominating the agenda inside our state’s capitol. We write today to share our serious concerns about the tactics that are being employed to move partisan agendas, which are counter-productive and detrimental to our crucial work together – putting Coloradans back to work and our economy on a sound footing.
