Colorado GOP keeps smearing away
The embattled Colorado GOP is still trying drag the Democrats down with it. Today's Rocky Mountain News reports that:
The chairman of the state Republican Party today called for an investigation into Colorado House Majority Leader Alice Madden's sponsorship of a bill that would give $316,000 to an organization with which she has ties.
The organization in question? Colorado University. And anyway:
Colorado law says if a lawmaker has a personal or financial interest in any bill, he or she shall disclose it and not vote on the bill. But Madden noted that last week the House approved a resolution that states, "The only conflict is when there is direct financial benefit" to the lawmaker.
Madden's post on the Board of Directors of the C.U. Law School is unpaid.
Fortunately, the smear-'em-all strategy doesn't always work. The GOP tried its hardest to spread lies about Democratic HD36 representative Morgan Carroll. But Carroll's anti-lobbyist bill passed the State House today anyway.

Would somebody out there take the information about the Madden smear and write letters to the editor to the Post and Rocky Mountain with the corrections mentioned? I was just published so they won't print anything from me.
