Today I opened the first regular session for the 67th General Assembly. I greeted senior senators, welcomed new faces, and laid out goals for the ambitious 2010 legislative session.
“It all starts with a good job” has become this session’s mantra as we plan to roll out several bills focusing on job creation and job training. The upcoming session will also see bills seeking to expand Colorado’s New Energy Economy through the increase of our Renewable Energy Standard; bills which will continue to reform education and keep Colorado at the top of the “Race to the Top”; and a bill which will secure retirement for the 450,000 state employees who are relying on a stable, sustainable system.
