GOP Governor Hopefuls Chase "65 Percent Solution"
Both Marc Holtzman [no link yet available on his Web site] and Bob Beauprez are touting their support of the popular "65 percent solution" education initiative. A ceremony was held at the State Capitol today to celebrate the submission of the petition signatures that officially put the measure on Colorado's November ballot.
In our separate RMA interviews with the two candidates several months ago, I came away with the convincing impression that Holtzman had a much stronger grasp of the issue than his rival did. I am more confident he could hold up the arguments in a debate with a formidable opponent who may be in the pockets of the education interest groups.
Why were the two Republican candidates practically shouldering one another out of the way to be the first in line to support the First Class Education "65 percent solution"? You will find one excellent answer here.
