As he nears the finish line, he is not only focused on the state budget and issues like affordable housing, but also which state prisoners should receive clemency. Among those who have asked the governor for a reduced sentence is former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was convicted of several felonies in connection with a 2020 election fraud scheme.


quote:

"She got a sentence that was harsh. It was a 9 year sentence. So we always look at people's sentences. And when you have people that are elderly, and we're looking at this across a number of many people -- people in their 70s or 80s in our system -- how much of a threat to society are they and how do we balance that in a way that makes sure they can spend their last year few years at home."


quote:

President Trump asked the governor to transfer Peters to federal authorities last year so he could pardon her, but Polis refused and Trump pardoned her anyway, but because she was charged in state court she remains imprisoned. Trump has since blocked funding to Colorado for needy families, disaster relief and clean water.

It comes as the state faces another massive budget shortfall. Polis proposed cuts to state agencies and a cap on Medicaid spending, but he says he will resist cuts to K-12 schools.

Yep! I almost put that in the OP.

Funny how cutting funds works. Remember when we changed our drinking age from 18 to 21?

If she had been a leftist messing around with voting data, she’d have received a medal and a couple hundred bands in a cash app.

But she’s a conservative. She gets 9 years in jail.
