Opening day in multimedia

House Speaker Andrew Romanoff gave a speech that was well received by members of both parties. (A welcome change from Joe Stengel's needlessly partisan opening to the 2006 session.) I heard Romanoff handed out copies of the controversial education report I wrote about on SquareState.

My mom attended, sent me some camera phone photos and kept me updated with text messages such as, "Romanoff... not l or r but forward."

Ah, texting. "4score & 7 yrs ago..."

Colorado Confidential has a report. As do the major dailies. And Wash Park Prophet. If you want to listen in yourself, a podcast of Senate president Joan Fitz-Gerald's opening day speech is on clickcaster.
