Ritter plans modest inaugural, Suthers plans to let it slide

The Rocky Mountain News reports that governor-elect Bill Ritter is planning a (relatively) modest inaugural, with dinner seats priced around $50. At some point, tickets will be available at coloradopromise.org.

There were early concerns that Amendment 41 would impact the inauguration. But Republican Attorney General John Suthers has agreed that the private function lies outside the intent of the law. A pretty obvious ruling, but still one which indicates some degree of bipartisanship.
