PERRY: Polis defies ‘timing is everything’ wisdom with invoking the Tina Peters principle
My jaw still hurts from when it dropped into my lap last week when Gov. Jared Polis wiped away years of remaining prison time for former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. Polis should have waited. Sure, I like to hate on Peters as much as the next cogent fan of our democracy for the crimes […]
