Doug Bruce still trying to destroy local government in Colorado

Another stupid Bruce proposal:

County Commissioner Douglas Bruce's struggle to get an initiative on the 2008 ballot hit yet another wall earlier this week.

A district judge threw out the measure, which aims to stifle the ability of Colorado Springs' Stormwater Enterprise to collect fees. (Bruce calls the fees an illegal tax.)

The measure has other implications. It would make all fees for city enterprises voluntary, and eventually eliminate the exchange of money between the city and its enterprises.

Judge David Gilbert ruled the initiative violated the single-subject rule and used language that could confuse voters. The Title Board has rejected the measure twice, and an appeal to City Council failed.

In response to the latest ruling, Bruce is planning to ask for a rehearing and may split his initiative into two separate measures.
