Ding, dong, the Colorado Energy Office funding proposal is dead
It's so fun to be lectured to about science by political actiivists who then turn around and ignore science.
Grouse, gas, and governor
Surprise, surprise: PERA was rated poorly (one of the worst) in a state-by-state analysis of teacher pensions.
