Re: and April 20 news stories.
The overriding takeaway from these articles is that all Coloradans should feel a sigh of relief that our steadfast legislators have solved the great teen sexting threat, but of lesser importance to them is that hospitals may close and our roads and infrastructure will continue to fall down around us.
Perhaps this phase of representative democracy has run its course and a return to the direct democracy of those fledgling pilgrim settlements is needed to right the ship of state and to bring our lawmakers’ real responsibilities back into focus.
Legislators, if you cannot or will not do your jobs, we citizens are prepared to vote for everything that really is necessary. Step aside and just give us a ballot.
