This is sick stuff. Amy Acton's enemies are trotting out her estranged and allegedly abusive mother to malign her.
If anything, I feel more sympathetic to Amy Acton after watching this. I suspect I'm not alone!
BOMBSHELL: Amy Actonās own MOTHER just dropped a devastating ad warning Ohio NOT to elect her daughter.
She calls Amy a habitual liar who āneeds helpā and is totally unfit for governor.
When your own mother begs voters to stay away, itās OVER.
Must watch! š
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Actonās stepfather abused her from age 9 to 12 and was criminally charged, and the family lived in a tent in winter. Her brother confirms they were removed from their motherās custody. Actonās stayed married to the stepfather until he died.

I was shocked, and pleased, to learn that the Denver Post Editorial Board is recommending a no vote on Amendment 87.
To put it simply, they fear 87 will do more harm than good for Colorado.

I'm excited to welcome the newest residents to the Governorās Mansion.š Bees are hardworking pollinators that play a vital role in Colorado's ecosystem, supporting Colorado farmers, protecting our environment, and keeping Coloradoās outdoor spaces beautiful and flourishing now and in the future. I encourage every Coloradan to learn more about our pollinators and take action to foster a healthier environment. š¼ šŗ

Colorado has something awesome called the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Among other things, it protects a simple principle: everyone pays the same state income-tax rate. If your income doubles, your tax doubles. Seems reasonable, right?
Amendment 87 would repeal that protection and nearly double the top marginal state tax rate while modestly reducing the lowest rates.
Under the new rules, doubling your taxable income could mean a state income-tax bill nearly four times what youād owe on your current income today.
To me, this looks like a blatant attempt to buy votes: the majority votes themselves a tax break funded by much higher taxes on a small minority.
And it hits startups especially hard. Founders and early employees often spend years building something before receiving a substantial payoff from selling their shares after an IPO or in an acquisition. A decade of work with no guarantee of success can produce a payout counted as income in a single yearāand taxed at much higher rates.
Iāve spent a decade building Boom in Colorado, on track to create hundreds of high-paying jobs. Coloradoās tax fairness was one reason I chose to build here. Now voters are being asked to change those rules and take a much larger share of a potential taxable payoff from that work.
Should I have built Boom in Texas, which has no state personal income tax? Should the next ambitious founder choose Colorado or somewhere else?
Colorado is at a crossroads. Do we want to stay true to our OG spirit of rugged independence, freedom, and fairnessāor make Colorado a less attractive place to build?
Punishing success is morally wrong and bad policy to boot. We should be celebrating the people who build new things and create new wealth for themselves and others. Their work gives us companies, products, and jobs.
Letās keep Colorado as one of the best places to live, build, create, and innovateāand to enjoy the rewards of our hard-fought efforts.
Iām voting no on Amendment 87.
