Amendment 54 Attacked by Special Interests, Again

The public-sector unions (funded by your tax dollars) probably should have spent more than the $30 million they did to try to defeat Amendment 54. But they didn’t. And now they’re not being very good losers about it.
What are they going to do? Fill your mailboxes with more flyers threatening attacks by Godzilla? Nope, they’re doing what all mature Progressive Socialists do when they lose. They’re suing!
In today’s Rocky Mountain News, Tom Lucero, former-Campaign Manager for Amendment 54, explains why special interest groups hate the choice Colorado citizens made:
Real change never comes easily – particularly when it means pulling at the purse strings of a political establishment that will fight at all costs to preserve the status quo.
Take the fight over Amendment 54, Colorado’s recently passed clean-government law.
Even though the people have heard the arguments and made their decision, the special interests are now filing lawsuits aimed at gutting the new law of its key provisions.
Amendment 54 provides transparency allowing us, the citizens, to see where and how our tax dollars are being spent. The special interests suing against Amendment 54 will lie try to tell you that it crushes their free speech. They’re lying; read the Amendment 54 text for yourself. Truth is, it crushes their sole-source, government contract kickbacks that come from bribing corrupt politicians… like Godzilla stepping on a fire station.
