Bad idea

I think it's abhorrent that, in the midst of a state budget crisis, Gov. Bill Ritter would give serious talk to Colorado bidding on the 2018 Winter Olympics. The economic windfall of hosting the Olympics is dwarfed by the enormous financial burden of preparing our state to be an Olympic venue. Generations to come would suffer the financial burden of hosting this event. I know we hosted the DNC but this is a different story. Plus, if you think FasTracks is going to be in place to shuttle all those people around by then, dream on! Bad idea in the '70s, (thanks, Dick Lamm), worse idea now. Let somebody else handle this financial boondoggle.
