"Hickenlooper’s final budget misses a political opportunity"

Hilarious. Well DPEB, at least you didn't. Do you honestly believe that reasonable folks are at this point to believe that you give a rip about what the Republicans think about the budget? Let alone, what might actually be good for the citizenry? This "safe" editorial is only meant to create the false illusion of political balance where there is none, in order to continue your glaringly phony schtick about 125 years of "professional journalism". You are well aware that little or nothing will come of Republican concerns and recommendations- except as always- out of eventual necessity. By which time there is ample opportunity to obfuscate and create entirely new progressive narratives to the rubber-finally-meets-the-road du jour. The only thing remarkable here is the failure to attach the usual far flung or incongruous derogatory reference to Donald Trump. But surely you will be back to work with your next advisory piece.
