State House District 42 may be cursed. The district was previously filled by Democrat Michael Garcia who ended up stepping aside after urging a lobbyist to "touch it." While his replacement, Rep. Karen Middleton, hasn't gone around propositioning any lobbyists she is proving herself to be just as inept as Garcia.

During a hearing last night on a bill that would have required public school districts in Colorado to post their budgets online, Middleton questioned if the Independence Institute has posted their budget online.

Either Middleton is so stupid that she doesn't grasp the difference between a tax-payer funded organization and a private entity, or she is so petty and spiteful that she would should would spit on the public's right to know what their government is doing because of a political grudge. No matter what her twisted logic was, it is clear that she has no business being in the state legislature and even less business being involved in anything related to education given her subpar reasoning ability.
