Dem Governor Vetoes Ban on Surprise Ambulance Bills in Shocking Move

I said "Jared Polis. Colorado." without even even opening the article.

Then I opened the article.

It was actually Jared Polis.

I'm not surprised at all...

He is a pretty smart guy. I agree with many of his policies. But electing a filthy-rich businessman wasn't perhaps a great idea. He has vetoed some good bills.

He knows to get paid in advance.

But electing a filthy-rich businessman wasn’t perhaps a great idea. He has vetoed some good bills.

Unfortunately, the only candidates Dems seem willing to field over the last few election cycles have been larded up business goons, tacti-cool military vets, and slavishly loyal Israel supporters. The working class simply is not invited to the table.

Lol same. Polis is excellent at disappointing his voters.
