I've just finished reading "The Soprano State" by Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure. What a mind-numbing experience. No fault of the authors.

Is this what democracy is all about?

Category: Unions · State: Colorado · Source: Denver Post

Bill Ritter and others to stand down. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said that he now believed it was too late to stop a showdown between business and labor at the ballot box in November and that he would focus his efforts on urging voters to defeat all the proposals backed by business groups and unions.
