Time for someone new in District 38
Being unemployed, I'm continually amazed at how out of touch our
politicians are. For example Joe Rice (my Colorado House District
38 Representative), claims Democrats have created 20,000 new jobs.
But according to Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, Colorado has
lost over 130,000 jobs since Rice took office in January 2007.
Democrat Rice claims he puts Colorado families first over
"special interests." So why has he taken money from seven different
lobbyist groups in July alone? (http://tracer.sos.colorado.gov)
Who's he really representing, guys like me, or his "special
interest" friends?
Then incumbent Rice supports legislation that makes me pay
dramatically more in car registration fees. So where does all that
hard earned money go? It goes to bridges all right, like the
"signature" bridge RTD is working on that's going to cost tens of
millions of dollars. And who gets the work? An architectural firm
located in Spain. What a slam to the competent architects in
Colorado. Thus politicians, like Rice, are making me pay these
exorbitant fees, so a Spanish firm can get a cushy job. What an
outrage.
I'm sick of this. Incumbents like Rice are burying us. I'm
voting for his opponent, Kathleen Conti, in Colorado House District
38.
