    By the time you move back you'll feel right at home San Colorado Springs.

    Not entirely true. Colorado is getting more of a Commiepornia feel in general but Colorado Springs is somewhat of a hold-out (albeit backsliding).

    The easy passage of a 1% sales tax increase to fund road maintenance was somewhat of a danger signal to me. I don't really care about 1% of anything but the way TPTB fought automatic sunsetting was a warning sign. It they were serious about it being a temporary bump to get past some needed maintenance now, they wouldn't have had a problem with the tax increase automatically sunsetting in 5-10 years with provision to renew. Instead, they wrote it to automatically renew unless specifically revoked.

    OTOH, folks down in C Springs are still generally more resistive against encroaching government than up in the Denver area.

    Honey Basher lived in Colorado Springs, so I had to use that city for the joke to work.

    Fail. Colorado Springs is definitely a Conservative and Christian holdout.
