6 Highlander Tuesday, October 25, 2005 Feature A call to participate in the political process Catharyn A. Baird, J.D. Professor of Business

The signs are up. The advertise­ ments on radio, TV, and via telephone have started. Election day is around the corner - does anyone care? I often ask my students how many are registered to vote. How many have ordered absentee ballots? How many are taking time to be informed about the issues? Generally, fewer than half of those in a classroom are registered and of those only a few think about voting. Why? The electorate in Colorado is poised to vote on Referendum C and D, two measures which address the core question of the purpose of govern­ ment. How many taxes should we pay to provide roads, court systems, health care, to support the infrastruc­ ture of our community. If we don't pro­ vide for them collectively, how will those without resources receive those services? Will we pay for our own, if we can? Will those without money go without? The system I know the most about is the judicial system. In Colorado, we do not have enough judges to meet the growing case load. Even though the legislature has authorized posi­ tions, because we don't have enough money to fund them, the positions are unfilled. Because of the shortage of judges, in some places. a civil trial takes 4 - 6 years to be decided. Those who can afford it "rent-a­ judge": agree on a person from the Colorado Judicial Group, a for-profit company who hires former judges to decide their cases.
