Pass a TABOR Law

"MORE EFFICIENT TAX SYSTEMS LEAD TO BIGGER GOVERNMENT"  There has been too much emphasis and focus on increasing taxes among government users of public tax dollars and their advocates. Before any increases in taxes are passed into law, there needs to be more focus on how to limit spending increases by governmental entities.  A close review of payrolls by department would be a great starting point of inquiry, in terms of where payroll dollars are allocated in comparison to the central mission of an agency of the government. For example, the central mission of education should be support of facilities (classrooms), students, and qualified faculty. But how do colleges, universities, and school districts allocate their payroll resources? This should be audited and reported to the public so that pleas of "we need more money" can be seen with more transparency.   One of the problems associated with agencies is that they grow in areas that are not central to the mi...

2022 PLATFORM

  2022 PLATFORM Here’s my own personal public policy platform. It’s not complete and is still a work in progress. It applies to state, local and national policies.

Question: Do Black Lives Matter?

Those who say "all lives matter" must acknowledge that "Black Lives Matter" or they are lying to themselves and everyone else.  As we all know, the phrase "Black Lives Matter" brings spitting rage to some people (virtually all are white who respond that way) because they somehow see the word "only" in front of the phrase. Many who object most loudly are old enough to recall a time when blacks weren't allowed to eat at lunch counters because they were black. And certainly they remember when blacks couldn't enter the front door but were expected to enter through the service doors, or back doors. Others remember when interracial marriage was illegal. Many remember when unemployment insurance was available for occupations dominated by whites, but was unavailable for occupations dominated by blacks. Many of these same people recall opposition to the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Some remember when blacks were expected to ...
