LESS AND LESS GREEN EVERY DAY...:
City gives DNC host committee pass on gas tax (Daniel J. Chacon, 7/22/08, Rocky Mountain News)
The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention is using the city's gas pumps to fill up on fuel, avoiding state and federal highway taxes, officials said today.
The gas tax holiday was a bad idea, but giving one to the Democratic Party and not the rest of America is a worse one. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 22, 2008 6:54 PM
Isn't that just about right for the Democrats? Sad, but all too true.

Hell, why not give it to anyone who shows up to host anything in the City?
