Morgan Carroll, Colorado’s newly-elected Democratic Senate President told Colorado Public Radio last week that “her main goal will be improving the state’s economy.” Try not to laugh.
This is coming from the woman who is leading the party that championed an exhaustive slate of bills last year designed to impede our state’s most promising industry, make energy more expensive for rural Colorado customers, passed a law in the face of employers promising to leave the state. And all of this was capped off by their support of a wildly unpopular tax increase that would have pulled one billion more dollars out of the pockets of hard working Coloradans – and disproportionately harmed small business owners.
In Carroll’s spare time, she was able to support the hyper-partisan legislation on social issues that was so toxic that it triggered the recall of two sitting state senators and the resignation of a third.
So, pardon us if we are a bit skeptical of the new Senate President’s announcement that the economy will be Job One when she gavels open the new session in a couple of weeks. With her disastrous track record of supporting measures that hinder economic growth, one could only imagine what she has in mind for “her main goal” in 2014.
Bloomberg or the Koch Brothers.
I'll bet a twenty she's got Bloomberg on speed dial.
You want to improve the economy? Shrink government drastically. Stop taxing the crap out of the productive people. Stop sucking money from the citizenry to pay for lavish union and government working pensions. Get rid of most regulations.
The State Dem's have a LISTENING problem, they are NOT hearing their own moderate base. Instead they are listening to a President that is OUT of touch and his RADICAL Cabinet of people that DO NOT HAVE THIS COUNTRIES BEST INTEREST IN MIND. Before this criminal regime took over I was a life long Democrat, but I have recently switched my party affiliation and I would urge other Democrats to do the same.
Elected Colorado Democrats are so easy to identify! You can look clear through their eyes and see that vast, empty space between their ears!
