Bestdestiny has a very interesting time line for Colorado House Bill 1072. His implied theory is that its passage is a payoff for the Democratic Convention coming to town. If this is a payoff, it is very expensive indeed:
January 3 MSNBC.com: “A local labor official received a call Tuesday from AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, asking what it would take to overcome union objections to bringing the Democratic National Convention to the Pepsi Center.”
“…..local labor unions feel as if Democratic politicians are happy to take their contributions during elections but aren’t willing to help them organize job sites.”
January 11 Democratic National Committee announced that Denver will host the 2008 Democratic National Convention
January 14 Denver Post “National union officials have assured Democrats that the stagehands’ issues with the Pepsi Center can be resolved over the next 19 months. But how?”
January 15 House Bill 1072 sails through its first committee in the House
Bestdestiny's permalink isn't working properly, so my link is to his site rather than the specific post.
