Howie in Colorado
Clean Government Colorado.
The Clean Government Colorado issue committee was formed to support the Paycheck Deception and Open & Clean Government ballot initiatives in 2008. The registered agent, Michele Austin, was formerly affiliated with the 65 percent solution amendment in 2006. The Clean Government Colorado committee has only received funds from one donor: the Howie Rich sponsored Colorado At its Best. To date, Howie Rich has spent $1.536 million in Colorado to push his own ideological agenda on the voters of Colorado.
The campaign to qualify Colorado's Open and Clean Government Initiative (Amendment 54) has garnered quite a bit of press in Colorado charging that the proponents have engaged in illegal actions in garner the required signatures. The backers of these initiatives have been accused of hiring thieves and sex offenders to circulate their so called open and clean government initiative.
