Colorado had a true visionary. Governor Dick Lamm.......

He wrote many articles in the late 70's after he was term limited out as Governor

One article pointed out, that the NEXT GENERATION, would be the first generation to do worse than their parents in the history of America.......

Looking back, many of his articles were incredibly visionary insights on the future of health care, etc etc etc

He was absolutely LOATHED by the Republicans...........not only here in Colorado, but nationally.....

May he rest in peace, knowing he tried to tell us.....................
