Denver Mayor Hickenlooper gets caught trying to stick his hand in the preverbial cookie jar. The Rocky Mountain News reports that the Mayors office was flooded with phone calls against the proposed new "green" (tax hike) plan for Denver.

The Mayors response: "We've gotten a bunch of phone calls, but nothing like a good snowstorm," Hickenlooper said.

Whats that mean? Is he refering to his great leadership of sending the snow plow drivers home during a snow storm. Making the city roads the biggest mess since mayor McNichols. How this man was ever reelected is a wonder. His hireing of Illegal Aliens, amnesty policies, and hamstringing of the Denver Police Department. His kowtowing to special interest groups on the political left. This man shows justhow desperate Denver is to get into the voters pockets and loot the money there.
