Thanks for reading Colorado Accountability Project! Subscribe for free to receive new posts Gentrification on the march! I've written in the past about how I sympathize with places like Alamosa, CO and the tension between welcoming economic activity and yet not wanting the change/challenges it brings.
The real reason the deal was voted against by that board was because they wanted to punish the city of La Junta for not folding and agreeing to the bogus Arkansas Conduit. There is way more to this story. It all goes back to the good ole boy’s club and the self appointed king of South East Colorado’s water.
ActBlue is the Dem’s campaign contribution platform. I can’t think of a single Dem candidate, even in municipal elections who hasn’t used it in the last 5-6 years in Denver. Maybe longer. It certainly can be abused. Fraud potential is there (lots of stories about single small donors making hundreds of donations in a day). The most annoying part for me is when you donate, ActBlue gets your contact info and somehow you end up on lists for candidates all over the country. And there’s no single way to unsubscribe.
WinRed is the equivalent platform for GOP. Same issues.
Thanks for that. I figured there was a GOP one, but didn't know the name. I'm also not surprised about ending up on lists. That's in general why I don't sign petitions or donate. Like stray cats: feed them once ...

Hmmm. Interesting. Thank you for adding to the post!
