Wong is partly right as Colorado voters have to approve any tax increases. But CO Republicans have lacked any semblance of leadership. They've ranted "no new taxes" for so long they became fraidy cats.
Float a poll asking voters if they'd like to pay more gas tax for better roads and the answer is: "No, I'd prefer not to." Having heard the "no new taxes" rant forever is one problem. The 2nd issue is that they aren't given a vision of specific projects around the state for how it would fulfill lots of needs. It's been like watching the Keystone Kops.
In any case I see where this trip was organized by the Denver Metro Area Chamber Leadership Foundation... very wise of them.
