Gallagher Amendment
• This is really rich. The Democrat Legislature convinced the Colorado electorate to repeal the Gallagher Amendment three years ago, which would have prevented the outrageous property tax increases we now endure. Polis and the Democrats now propose to use our TABOR refunds to blunt the impact of the property tax increase, thereby enticing us to vote for lower mill levies in exchange for keeping our TABOR refunds for at least the next 10years. Another example of the socialist Democrats creating a problem and then expecting the electorate to thank them for solving it. They must think we’re all a bunch of fools, and maybe we are because we keep electing them to office.
• People, you voted “yes” to increasing your property taxes when you voted for the repeal of the Gallagher Amendment, which limited your tax. The repeal was put on the ballot by the Democratic Party, and the initiative was deliberately misworded in order to fool the electorate. This is just another Democratic Party money grab from its citizens, and sadly the average voter is so uninformed. They don’t know what they’re voting for half the time.
Ask what you can do

Coach Prime’s son
I’m just wondering if other TC Line callers think that Deion Sanders — Coach Prime — will be objective enough to allow other quarterbacks to challenge his son for the top spot on this football team.
Congressional ethics
I agree strongly with the New York Daily News that all of Congress needs to spruce up their ethics rules, too. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black when they’re trying to point out ethics problems with the Supreme Court when they have their own.
Water Street
Responding to the TC Line (of) May 12: I lived at 2120 Water St., and I was a CU football fan. I could hear the crowd from the stadium all the way down to … Water Street. I, too, watched the train go by, but I sat on my front porch with my family late in the evening, just at dark, and the train would be heading west to the depot with the soldiers on it. What a sight that was. Beautiful. America true. I would run out before the train came by and put a penny on the track. … I went to Lincoln Elementary School, and as I would go to Lincoln or come back I would always stop at that little grocery store your parents owned at 21st and Goss. (For) two pennies I could get … a few candies.
