Rep. Edward Casso of Commerce City lost his committee vice chairmanship a day after he cheered Gov. Bill Ritter’s decision not to run for re-election and ripped the governor, The Denver Post reports. Speaker Terrance Carroll demoted him in favor of Sara Gagliardi, who’s in a competitive race in her district. “I hope my crocodile tears don’t flow too much, or you might actually think I will miss the governor,” Casso said, in a news release Wednesday.
