Thank you, Morgan Carroll

Today's news seemed to be all about the various ways in which greed is ruining our state. Bush is selling off Colorado public land to pay for his six year spending spree. Beauprez and Tancredo are gushing about their donors on the House floor. Steve Farber is cozying up to Both Ways Bob. Everybody knows my opinion of Joe Stengel by now. And the folks on my side of the aisle aren't doing much better.

Just as I was about to hit the Jack Daniels, I happened across a story on Progress Now Action. The story points to an editorial in the Rocky Mountain News that details how Aurora Democrat Morgan Carroll took an unpopular stand purely on principle.

Ms. Carroll, you rock. Maybe there's hope for Colorado after all.
