PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 10th, 2008 MIKE BOWMAN CONTINUES TO HAVE GOVERNOR'S EAR ON ENERGY POLICY UPDATE - PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 12th, 2008 - UPDATE In addition to being an energy advisor to Governor Ritter, CompleteColorado.com has learned that Mike Bowman is also a listed "proponent" to Amendment 58 which will appear on the statewide ballot this November. Click here for the document from the Secretary of State's office. After winning the election in November 2006, Governor Bill Ritter tapped life-long Yuma County resident Mike Bowman to be co-chair of his transitional energy team. CompleteColorado.com has obtained documents showing in 1999, a Yuma County jury held Bowman liable for almost $4 million dollars in damages due to "fraudulent representation." Click on either of the pages below for larger images.   Additionally, a business partner of Bowman's was also deported sometime shortly after the jury named Bowman liable for the roughly $4 million in damages. A large part of the deportation hearing was focused specifically on the fraud judgement against Bowman. Bowman was a driving force behind a sometimes-controversial wind turbine in Wray, Colorado, which was recently a part of "carbon offsets" being sold to DNC delegates. Today, September 10th, Governor Bill Ritter is hosting the "8th Annual Colorado Conservation Voters Fall Luncheon," with sponsorships available for $1,500. Bowman is listed on a press release as being a member of the host committee. Besides continuing to play a role in his family's farm, Bowman is a school bus driver in Wray.
