<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">The 4-4 tie is essentially a victory for the Democrats, which control Colorado politics, meaning there will be no audit of the governor’s business dealings. State Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg (R-Sterling) brought the request to the committee, reportedly sharing engrossing evidence that the governor gained from sports betting legislation he signed into law.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Sonnenberg also alleged Polis never followed through on a 2018 campaign promise to put his personal holdings into a blind trust to avoid conflicts of interest. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) did that when he was governor and mayor of Denver, reports The Colorado Gazette.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Democrats dismissed Sonnenberg’s demands for an audit as election-year posturing. They did so while pondering whether or not the audit committee can examine the governor’s personal financial interests. No answer was provided.

<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">In November 2019, Colorado voters approved Proposition DD, a ballot initiative to legalize sports wagering to direct revenue to the state’s water projects.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Because sports betting revenue is taxed, and the tax was new in Colorado, voters had the final say in the matter under the terms of the state’s constitution. But in 2018, Polis signed a bill allowing Prop DD to be included on the November 2019 ballot.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">According to media reports, Sonnenberg claimed that in advance of Polis signing that legislation, he owned shares of FanDuel. To be precise (and assuming that’s true), the governor owned stock in Flutter Entertainment (OTC: PDYPY), which owns 95% of FanDuel. Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD) owns the other 5%.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Citing disclosures Polis made when he was a congressman, Sonnenberg notes the governor was a Flutter investor from at least some time in 2015 through May 2019 — the month in which he approved the Prop DD legislation.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">FanDuel — the largest online sportsbook operator in the US — contributed $250K to pro-Prop DD initiatives. Polis’ office didn’t respond to a request for comment from Casino.org before the publication of this article.

<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Polis is facing off against Republican Holly Ganahl in his quest to win a second term, and no polls indicate that this will be a competitive race.
<p style="color: #656565; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 20px;">Across the country, however, voters’ disdain for politicians토토사이트 profiting from “sweetheart” deals and information the public doesn’t have access to is the rare issue with bipartisan support.
