Bob takes both sides on the issue of severance taxes
Where does Bob Beauprez stand on taxes? Depends on who he's talking to. For instance, he recently flip-flopped on the issue of raising severance taxes on corporations that extract minerals, oil and gas from the earth. From an Oct. 6 press release :

"Hell no," Congressman Beauprez said when asked if he would support boosting the statewide severance tax.

Why don't you have an RSS feed? Its easy in Blogger, just click a box.
It enables us who are interested to keep up with your posts.
I have almost 3000 bookmarks and I can't remember the ones I want to visit.
Just click on the "Coloradolib Site Feed" in my sidebar. I'll also put it here for convenience:
feed://coloradolib.com/atom.xml/atom.xml
The reason for confusion is that I jacked up my folders when I set up my server (hence the/ atom.xml/atom.xml). I'm going to change it after the election. But I have a ton of people subscribed to that feed and I don't want to lose them now. Thanks for asking!
thanks for the link ... I added your blog to MyYahoo account ... also, I enjoyed meeting you, your sister, and your dad at the Winter/Feingold event at the Denver Dry Goods Tea Room ... Mike Jones
