I just reviewed the campaign finance reports for the school bullies, a.k.a. Yes on 3A.  The largest single contributor to the campaign for 3A, the massive, forever property tax increase — the Greeley Tribune.  Our local newspaper donated $20,000 in advertising.  I wonder if they included all the opinion editorials posing as “news” stories on the front page of the paper.

Other contributors to school bullies include:

Wells Fargo: $5,000
RR Donley: $5,000
Phelps-Tointon: $10,000
Realtor Issues Political Action Committee: $7,000
Ernie Martin: $1,000
Hensel-Phelps: $7,500
Flood & Peterson: $7,500
Conquest Holdings: $1,000
Cache Bank: $7,500
Bank of Choice: $7,500
Holly Ehrlich: $2,500

Readers are welcome to see how Citizens Against School Bullies, the opposition to 3A, spent its money.  On the Colorado Secretary of State’s Web site, you’ll see we raised $1100 total, and have spent about $900.  We were out raised almost 90 to 1, outspent 55 to 1, and they still stole our signs.  We’ll find out on Tuesday, who had a better message.
