CRC CHAIRMAN'S BLOG: "HICKENRITTER" REALLY DOES PREFER BEING THE CLASS CLOWN TO BEING A SERIOUS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Earlier today, Colorado Republicans called on Mayor John Hickenlooper to tell Colorado voters where he stands on the Ritter-Democratic tax increases passed last week by the State House and being debated this week in the State Senate.

Not surprisingly, His Honor the Mayor of Denver declined to reveal during two different radio interviews where he stands on these irresponsible, job killing tax increases.

The state budget shortfall is not only the hottest issue of the 2010 legislative session, it is a defining issue of the 2010 race for governor because it dramatizes the stark differences between the Ritter-Hickenlooper-Democratic approach from Republicans.  Also today, State Senate Republicans unveiled a bold plan to cut the state bureaucracy as opposed to the Ritter-Democratic tax increases.

We know that Mayor "Hickenritter" is a talented political entertainer who jumps out of planes and rides scooters plugging parking meters.  But Colorado voters deserve to know where "Hickenritter" stands on the issues and not just that he would be a great class clown.
