I started to celebrate that there might actually be an advancement of a health care bill in Congress until I realized that Speaker Pelosi had allowed the egregious Eshoo/Barton amendment to stay in the House version of the bill. Once again we get verbal support on an issue as important as health care reform but no guts to stand up and really do the right thing for those who need it the most!
In 2006 Colorado passed a controversial ballot measure that tied minimum wage to the state's Consumer Price Index. At the time, I was in the Colorado State House of Representatives as the Speaker ProTem and I opposed putting this initiative into the Constitution. I had many conversations with people asking them not to legislate through the Constitution — had we not yet learned our lesson about yet passing policy through Constitutional amendments?
I'm excited to announce that Former Speaker of the House Andrew Romanoff and Congressman Ed Perlmutter are endorsing me in my run for State Senate, and I want you there with us as we kick off this campaign.
