Saxton Now Would be "Happy" to Implement TABOR
After repeatedly ducking Victoria Taft's show, Ron made an appearance Friday evening where he continued his tradition of singing TABOR's praises on right-wing radio and distancing himself from it with the mainstream media.
Asked whether he actually thinks a TABOR-style spending limit is a good idea (as he did in the GOP primary), Saxton continued to filibuster the question. But when Taft pushed on what he'd do as Governor if TABOR was approved, he went back to mouthing platitudes about the measure - just as he did on Lars Larson:
SAXTON: I will happily – I’ll be by far the best governor to implement it [TABOR].
Saxton went on to later claim he can effectively run the state, no matter what level of funding is actually available:
I can manage it [state government] on the money available and if the money available is reduced in some way, I can manage it on that money.
Although it's nice to know he has no qualms about a multibillion dollar cut to the state budget, it begs the larger question - how long will Ron keep talking out of both sides of his mouth before no one believes anything he says?
