Rightwing robocalls net lawsuit
A lawsuit has been filed over the pre-HB-1338 robocalls I mentioned here. Yesterday, the Post reported:
Two state lawmakers filed ethics complaints Tuesday accusing lobbyists for Colorado homebuilders of falsely claiming the legislators were pushing a bill that would raise taxes and help trial lawyers. The allegations come amid an aggressive campaign by builders against a measure that would restore the ability of some homeowners to sue over construction defects.
Today's Rocky has more:
E-mails contradict a lobbyist's claim that his well-heeled organization had nothing to do with a deceptive phone-call campaign conducted in March... In March, the calls went to senior citizens in certain Democratic districts. The seniors were told their local lawmaker supported a bill that would increase taxes. No such bill existed at the time. The bill eventually introduced, House Bill 1338, does not increase taxes.
