Convenience is a thing Eric Sondermann uses to erratic effect in “25 things to do with TABOR refund, errr Colorado Cash rebate,” The Colorado Springs Gazette, Aug. 10.

Convenient to write “these checks would go out the following April,” and that Polis and the Democrats “do not even refer to all of this as TABOR refunds.”

What’s so wrong with these checks going out early; does he think people don’t need the checks, a concept he can’t even be bothered to mention? By pointing out his mostly inane reasons for how to use the refund, Sondermann comes close to demonstrating contempt for those who genuinely need it.

Regarding terming it something else, that “Polis, et al., do not even refer to all of this as TABOR refunds,” he acknowledges that “Polis is a skilled politician.” Well, obviously he is using his skill. Does Sondermann think if the Republicans were in power they would have done it differently?

The overarching example of convenience by Sondermann, and one of the letter writers; their praises of TABOR author Doug Bruce. Both very conveniently neglect to state that Bruce is a convicted felon.
