2012 Election Guide

In case you haven't decided who to vote for yet let's take a look at the lineup for 2012 and we at the Arvada Report would like to make a few recommendations

Lang Sias is running for Senate district 19. He is a moderate conservative. Given the composition of the district we feel that Lang will make an excellent Senator, especially when you take a look at the competition:

Robert Ramirez is running for House of Representatives in district 29. Ramirez is the incumbent in this race. We fully expect Ramirez to pull ahead of his opponent who is a an attorney:

Joe Coors who we now know is not a beer. This is a business guy who is fed up with Washington and what they have done to business. I know Joe and believe me he didn't want to run for office, but over the years he sat and watched things get worse and worse. Finally he decided to do something.

Libby Szabo is also running in Arvada. In her first term Szabo sponsored some fantastic bills for Arvada including an effort to fight the Arvada trash Nazi's. Libby does have an opponent, he tried walking doors but after going down one street he was so winded he almost had a heart attack.

Don't Hurt Our Community

Oppose ballot initiatives 3A and 3B because it hurts our community.

In this community all sectors of government want more money.

K-12 already has a lion’s share of the state budget:

40.4% of the general fund!

This is a new world and everyone is suffering to one extent or another. Not only are our schools having to make cuts, but families, small businesses, farmers, home owners are as well.  Everyone is scaling back. To propose YET ANOTHER TAX ON PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING JUST TO KEEP THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES is unfair and unjust.

What taxpayers are hearing is the voice of a teachers union official saying ‘I want MORE’ to a threadbare and weary taxpayer.

We hope that the school bureaucracy will prioritize the educational needs of students.
