As Governor, I will demand that Colorado's government serves the taxpayers of Colorado, not special interest groups and government bureaucrats.
Colorado cannot afford to become the next California, with skyrocketing taxes that hurt our state's economy and our quality of life.
We owe our public servants, from school teachers to state employees, a sustainable and well-funded retirement that they can count on.
Having a credible existence in the private sector frees people to be able to be better public servants. You're less concerned with... toeing the party line and more concerned with doing what is right.
Reforming PERA will strengthen and improve Colorado's all-important long term standing with credit rating agencies.
I don't think Congress, in general, has done a good job articulating to the American public how inextricably linked our credit markets are to our entire economic system.
