Oh Ken, say it ain't so

Ken Cheuvront has decided to vote to extend a tax cut in a year when we have record deficits. The article from the KVOA is here. Ken seems like a good guy. It has been long known that he is a fairly pro-business/libertarian Democrat. I personally do not have a problem with lower taxes, but I do have a problem with a Democrat voting to extend a tax cut when we are underfunding education and have massive budget shortfalls. If you plan on extending tax cuts then you should not vote for them unless you have a means to pay for them. It also bothers me that his business is a likely beneficiary of the cut.

I would like to have an explanation as to why he chose to do this. I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now...
