“Platform for Prosperity” / “Contract for Colorado” waffling on Car “Fees” reversal poses conflict for voters

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 4:11 pm, November 27, 2009

The troubled launch of the “Platform for Prosperity” (aka “Contract for Colorado”) by “some Colorado GOP leaders” at the beginning of this week in an attempt to foster party unity behind Scott McInnis as the gubernatorial candidate seems to have generated more skepticism with each passing day.  Although the pre-emptive criticism by Governor Bill Ritter [...]

Controversy Over Rice-Ritter-Mullarkey Car Tax Increase Isn’t Going Away

by T.L. James | 10:07 pm, August 11, 2009

Think the controversy over the Rice-Ritter-Mullarkey car tax increase has abated due to being drowned out by the furor over Obamacare? Think again: this van was parked at the Arapahoe County DMV office at Alameda and Chambers today, in plain view of taxpayers entering and leaving the office to renew their license plates…and pay the increased [...]

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 2:44 pm, August 5, 2009

Protesting Pennies for Postcards, Pimping Plenty for Propaganda – Denver Post Editorial Board demonstrates new depths of hypocrisy

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 5:56 am, July 25, 2009

Third time’s apparently the charm for the Denver Post editorial board to stick it to Colorado citizens on the Rice/Ritter/Mullarkey car tax – apparently, this time they couldn’t wait until Saturday, as with their two most recent editorial pronouncements against the peoples’ interest, one and two weeks to the day following July 4th. In their [...]

Now that’s customer service!  Colorado citizens protesting  the increased costs of vehicle registration and the outrageous “late fees” imposed by the Rice/Ritter/Mullarkey Car Tax (officially, the “FASTER” bill) now have a new outlet to register their complaints (at least if you’re a resident of Park or Moffatt county), according to a recent Denver Post article [...]

“Let Them Eat Cake” part 2 – Denver Post editorial board wants you to shut up and take it on car tax, late fees

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 4:32 pm, July 20, 2009

“Sure, new late fees for auto registration are steep, but threats that result in extra security are out of line. Just pay your bill.”  So sayeth the Denver Post, in an editorial published Saturday (July 18th). Following on the heels of last Saturday’s suck-up to Governor Ritter’s “compromise” proposal,  the Denver Post editorial board has [...]

Don’t Get Mad, Get Even – Car Tax Blame belongs to Ritter, Legislature, Mullarkey Court – not County Clerks

by The Peripatetic Pundit | 10:00 am, July 20, 2009

Public anger in reaction to the Rice/Ritter car tax – the substantial increases in vehicle registration fees, along with the disproportionately (if not extortionately) high, punitive, and regressive late fees – continues to heat up, apparently nearing the boiling point in several instances (“Anger simmers over auto-registration fees,” in Thursday’s Denver Post).  Public reaction is [...]
