The state’s Long-Term Fiscal Stability Commission “squandered a golden opportunity to reform government and provide long term fiscal stability,” write three of its members, talk-show host Amy Oliver Cooke, State Rep. Cheri Gerou and Sean Conway, a Weld County commissioner. “Instead, it indulged in the same, worn-out argument that government spending must grow. Should big spending proponents succeed, the result will prove to be more than unimaginative: it also will prove to be unsustainable. No wonder taxpayers are disheartened.”
