| “ |
With over 100,000 people moving to the Colorado metro area, we need to focus on our new and growing transportation needs in Broomfield, Superior and Erie. We need to end party-line votes and political agendas that block improvements to the northern I-25 corridor and Northwest Parkway.
The up and coming generations are graduating from college with enormous debt and are not able to find good paying jobs. This starts with a choice in education. Let’s increase the options for parents and students to include charter schools, technical programs, and vocational studies to enable them to make choices that are best for them to obtain gainful employment, make a great living, and prosper!
The government has suffocated businesses with regulations that make it difficult to stay in business and grown jobs. This is especially true in the housing construction industry, and it is effecting our neighbors ability to realize the American Dream of owning their own home our business. We need to eliminate regulations and unleash the free market to do its job.[2] |
