The stocky guy sitting quietly in the back row drew attention Monday as the House Education Committee debated Gov. Bill Ritter's school funding plan.
"I'm trying to learn everything about the $1.8 billion property tax increase by the Democrats and Gov. Ritter," explained Dick Wadhams, the state Republican Party chairman.
Wadhams plans to frame the issue exactly that way in the 2008 election. Republicans will raise the issue even if the plan dies in the legislature, Wadhams said.
"You're going to hear about it anyway," he vowed.
Some Democrats are wary of the plan for that reason.
