Winners and losers

By Mike Saccone | Monday, May 12, 2008, 10:12 AM

Over the weekend, we rolled out our look back at the winners and losers of the 2008 legislative session, which Coloradopols noted and reprinted.

In short, we named Gov. Bill Ritter, Sen. Josh Penry, R-Grand Junction, Rep. Bernie Buescher, D-Grand Junction, and Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff, D-Denver, as winners this year.

We also named Rep. Doug Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, the state’s transportation system and drunken drivers as the year’s losers.

So, we must not put the question to you: Did we miss something or someone, such as Secretary of State Mike Coffman or Senate President Peter Groff, D-Denver? Or did we get something wrong or place a loser on the winners list or vice versa?

The comments section awaits your input.
