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.

The Corrosive Effect of Recall Elections on State Legislative Politics Zachary J
86.1 SIEGEL_FINAL (DO NOT DELETE) 11/14/2014 11:01 AM RECALL ME MAYBE? THE CORROSIVE EFFECT OF RECALL ELECTIONS ON STATE LEGISLATIVE POLITICS ZACHARY J. SIEGEL* For the first time in Colorado’s 137-year history, voters in two districts recalled their state senators from office in September 2013. Although the event prompted significant debate over the controversial gun legislation that sparked the grassroots efforts to trigger the recall elections, discussion generally overlooked the implications of using political recall altogether—implications that concern the very foundation of American democracy: the role of the legislator. This Comment aims to fill that gap, examining politically motivated recalls in the context of state legislatures. Using the recent Colorado examples as a case study, this Comment argues that increased use of the tactic will shake the foundation of state legislative politics. By forcing legislators to consider the chance that they might be recalled after voting on any controversial issue, the tactic upsets the delicate balance between a legislator’s ideal dual-role as a delegate and trustee, thereby distorting legislative decision- making. Additionally, increased use of political recall threatens to create a literal manifestation of the “permanent campaign,” and disproportionately advantage special interest and national groups in state politics. Seeking to address the problems associated with the increased use of this dangerous tactic, this Comment presents three policy recommendations. Two of the recommendations are aimed at preventing politically * J.D. Candidate, 2015, University of Colorado Law School; Executive Editor, University of Colorado Law Review.

A bill introduced Thursday in the U.S. House by Rep. John Salazar, D-Manassa, would create a demonstration "Good Samaritan" project limited to the Animas River watershed. Salazar's bill has a 10-year sunset clause - language that shields public and private parties involved in cleanup from liability, with no requirement to amend the Clean Water Act, according to Bill Simon, coordinator of the Animas River Stakeholders. The Animas River Stakeholders would be a Samaritan under Salazar's bill, which focuses on mines for which there are no known owners or operators to shoulder responsibility for cleanup, Simon said. The group would look to member organizations, mining companies, the federal government and others to pay for cleanup. "It makes a lot of sense," Simon said Friday. "We all agree that we need a Good Samaritan cleanup program, so I think that if we get attention from the right people we have a good chance." Supporters hope the Salazar bill will set an example for what can be done to clean up thousands of mines, most of them abandoned, in the West.
