If your point is that the majority of ELIGIBLE voters didn't vote for
the measures, that I'm sure that's true just like that's true on
virtually every thing voted on in an election.

My point was simply that both measures did pass by a sizable majority of
the people that voted. In addition, on three separate occasions, the
legislature
tried to divert funds from this program and on all three occasions the
voters (only those that voted obviously) rejected it. The legislature
tried
to make the last initiative as palatable as possible by proposing to
divert only a small percentage of the funds and directing those funds
toward schools. This also got rejected. Maybe Coloradoans are kooks,
but in a state that's already about 50% public land, and Republican to
boot, I think this is pretty telling.

Make of it what you will.
