Ganahl’s Tax “Plan”? “Total Bull–.”
Today, Heidi Ganahl’s idea to cut costs was called out as “bulls#*t” at the gubernatorial forum held by Colorado Concern, a business-friendly interest group.
The moderator, former Denver Post publisher Dean Singleton, pressed Ganahl on her ludicrous proposal, which would likely defund Colorado’s public schools and correctional facilities.
Ganahl was asked no less than three times during the 25 minute interview to explain how she would eliminate the state income tax and cut the gas tax in half without completely defunding the state budget and cutting core services.
When Ganahl, predictably, still did not answer the question about how she would backfill the state’s coffers to the tune of $11 billion, Singleton said what had to be on everyone’s mind: “It’s a nice soundbite but it’s just total bulls#*t.”
Ganahl added insult to injury in the following exchange:
HOST: How would you fix crime? Knowing that you're not going to have any money to do it?
GANAHL: Dean, I keep explaining how this is going to work, now this is gonna work. So can you just assume that my plan works?
HOST: That's a pretty big assumption, I don't believe anyone in this room believes that but if you do…
“The moderator today asked an important question: Will voters believe Heidi’s batty plan will actually save them money? Coloradans aren’t fools, which makes the answer clear: No.” –Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Kailee Stiles
