Beauprez proposes incentives, has no plan to fund them

Covering Bob Beauprez is a bit like hanging out with Johnny Knoxville. You never know what he's going to do next, but you can be sure it'll leave you shaking your head.

The Denver Post reports that at a debate yesterday in front of suburban business leaders, Beauprez proposed a "massive cash infusion" for public schools paid for by tax incentives, but did not "provide an estimate on how much additional revenue that would provide to schools or explain how much the incentives would cost the state," saying only that the "proposal requires further study." Beauprez's spokesperson clarified that the proposal "would not substitute for the current funding system that includes local property taxes and state taxes."

This is the real Bob Beauprez, folks. The guy who in congress has consistently voted to expand the budget deficit, federal government and executive power. But who has never, ever taken on the responsibility of paying for it.

Incidentally, I had to update the Both Ways Bob Watch twice today, with information on same sex unions and illegal immigration.
