Governor’s office harshly critical of GOP ‘Platform’

The Colorado Republican Party "Platform for Prosperity" introduced with fanfare Monday by gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has drawn fire for its lack of specifics. Analysts on the left and right have noted the platform fails to provide funding mechanisms for its proposals. Governor Bill Ritter's office was harshly critical of the platform in discussions with the Colorado Independent, calling hypocritical. Advocacy groups saw the plan as divorced from reality and misleading.
