Stan Garnett is the Democratic candidate for Colorado Attorney General. He addressed the Democrats of HD6B at the Windsor Gardens Democratic Club last night and had this to say
- Government can work, meaning that it can provide a wall for the unempowered; but it needs to be competent to do so.
- Protection of water, environment, small people and business is high on his agenda: only 8 of 244 lawyers in the AG's office currently work on consumer, credit or charity fraud, though the case load there is high.
- The AG needs to be nonpartisan. Attorney General Sutter has been filing support cases in Florida in support of a state suit there to overturn the health care bill at a cost of "only"$5000 (when the state is cutting essential services), a Kansas state death penalty lawsuit, California and Nebraska gay marriage lawsuits, Pledge of Allegiance lawsuits in Virginia, Chicago handgun regulation suits on behalf of the NRA and energy industry lawsuits opposing EPA regulation.
- He has a resume of experience in managing and directing lawyers both as a district attorney and as the managing counsel of a multi-lawyer private practice. He has demonstrated that he can bring efficiency to this office and meet his goals of support for the ordinary people of this state.
We need to remind our voters to vote all the way down ballot this year, including Attorney General, Treasurer and Secretary of State. If not, we will see more costly litigatious delays, such as those imposed on school districts which are trying to get equal treatment under Colorado law but finding themselves in court, facing an Attorney General whose office is appealing every step of the way. This takes money from the local schools affected and gets our state no where beyond less educated children.
UPDATE: Stan needs your financial help in this race, $5, $10, $50, $100, more helps. |
