Bill Ritter, Cary Kennedy keep it positive at the Capitol

Ritter + Kennedy = Stuff getting done:

For years, there's been a natural tension between Colorado's governor and the state treasurer seated just across the hall.

So far, however, it's been a lovefest between Gov. Bill Ritter and Treasurer Cary Kennedy. But then again, the two Denver Democrats took office less than two months ago.

Ritter appointed Kennedy as one of three co-chairs of his blue-ribbon commission on transportation. Ritter - and nearly everyone else at the Capitol - also hailed Kennedy after she came up with a solution to a nearly $20 million shortfall in health care funding.
