The Democratic agenda runs counter to the promises from Polis and legislative leaders to make life more affordable and improve the economy, business leaders say. The new regulations would lead to higher costs for consumers in other areas, they argue., which hosted last week's luncheon.House Speaker Julie McCluskie made clear that workers are at the forefront in the discussions, even as she called for a middle ground.
Democrats are "making sure there is balance between workers' rights, supporting workers in the workplace and of course helping our business thrive in the economy," she told us this week. She added: "We may need to take care of some bad actors or businesses that are not supportive of employees in the way they should be."
Interesting, Polis has a strong business background and should be receptive. I'm sure there are many states to the southeast of CO that would be glad to take their relocated companies.
