This once-in-a-lifetime recognition honors those who are turning our once-freedom-loving state into the social experiment gone hideously wrong known as California. 
 
Who has the most to bring left-coast craziness to Colorado? We'll find out this Monday when we announce the winner.
 
But today, we're thrilled to announce the next Californian of the Year nomination.
 
Today's nomination is a husband-and-wife team dedicated to bringing California-like cronyism and self-dealing to a Mile High level. This team lined their pockets while helping fleece the pockets of hard-working taxpayers.
 
Our next nomination goes to United States Representative Brittany Patterson and her husband, Ian Silverii, for their totally above-board and definitely not questionable sweetheart deal given to them by their fellow Democrat Jefferson County commissioners. They received a $340,000 contract to help strategize how to con Jeffco voters into giving up their TABOR refunds… forever.
 
This team is a triple threat. They use political connections to get sweetheart deals. They get elected officials to use taxpayer money to scam voters to give up even more taxpayer money. And while profiting off at all, we're able to permanently remove one of Colorado’s largest counties' spending limits forever.
 
This is true California politics at its best.
 
Tune in tomorrow to learn the next nominee. Next Monday, we will announce the winner and their prize!
 
Please don't forget us on Colorado Gives Day. Help us reach our $100,000 goal. That’s well under a third of what today's nominees conned taxpayers out of via their sweetheart deal.
