Those following the Jane Norton ads that charge that Ken Buck’s budget soared 40% in only a few years may want to review my April 18 interview with him. He answered a lot of questions about his budget. I concluded and believe that his budget increased with Weld County’s population and his office’s workload. I think he has been a fiscally conservative district attorney. See the link to our interview below.

UPDATE: See the link below to my interview with Jane Norton where she answered 27 questions about her career, how she cut costs as a bureaucrat and why she supported Referendum C in 2005 when she was Governor Bill Owens’ lieutenant governor. Adam Schrager of 9News today gave his truth test to Norton’s recent ads. The link to his report is below

I’m neutral in this contest.
