Husband of Rep. Brittany Pettersen lands hefty Jefferson County consulting gig; questions swirl around bid process

By Sherrie Peif | SOURCE: Complete Colorado Page Two LAKEWOOD — Despite voters in Jefferson County (Jeffco) overwhelmingly rejecting higher taxes twice in the last three years, the Democrat-controlled county commission is back at it again. Only this time, they are willing to pay big money to a political consulting company co-owned by Ian Silverii, the activist husband of US Representative Brittany Pettersen, whose congressional district includes Jeffco. Silverii is hoping he can help secure what looks to be another ballot initiative to de-TABOR county revenues and/or raise taxes in some form.

Caldara: The Colorado GOP’s master plan to keep losing

By Jon Caldara | Complete Colorado Page 2 Politics is the art of addition, not subtraction. The job of electing someone is all about getting people who aren’t all that crazy for you to vote for you. Proving to voters you despise them oddly doesn’t win them over. Just like government cannot tax a people into prosperity, a political party cannot divide and alienate its way to victory. So, it is with great curiosity I watch the communications from the Colorado Republican Party. Instead of highlighting what makes them a better choice than Democrats, they condemn Republicans who don’t pass their purity test. The Colorado Republican Party will be a lost cause for the next six to eight years as it continues to self-deteriorate. We can still move forward with great limited govern...
