I was pleased to see the Denver Post published a letter I sent opposing Governor Ritter's push for an Olympic bid in Colorado. For the Post to save some space understandably they had to edit out some of the contents.
Below is the original letter I sent in to the Post Bidding for the Olympics:
The Governor has talked about pushing for a bid to host the Winter Olympics in Colorado, but he has failed to give attention to the more important issues Coloradans face.
Ritter claims that he is looking at making the cuts to balance the $240 million downfall, but instead of prioritizing the budget he has opted to push for political glory in a far reach for an Olympic hosting.
Pushing for the Olympics is too far into the future when Colorado is starving in the present. This move is more proof that Ritter is not the leader this state needs. Colorado deserves stronger leadership than this.
