  • The Ultimate Measure of a Man Is Not Where He Stands in Moments of Comfort and Convenience, but Where He Stands at Times of Challenge and Controversy." -Dr
    January 16, 2017 "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. BREAKING NEWS Democrat Mike Johnston to Announce run for Colorado governor in 2018 Denver Post State Sen. Mike Johnston will kick off the 2018 Democratic primary on Tuesday by announcing that he's running for governor. The early move by Johnston, a former teacher, high school principal and Obama education adviser who's been active in Colorado school issues for several years, is a sign of the contentious gubernatorial campaign ahead. Incumbent governor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, is termed out in 2018, and the contest to replace him will likely feature an all-star list of politicians from both sides of the aisle competing to win their party's nominations. Duran and Grantham Lay Out Session Priorities Colorado Public Radio As Colorado lawmakers head back to the Capitol for the new legislative session that opens Wednesday, House Speaker Crisanta Duran, a Democrat, and Senate President Kevin Grantham, a Republican, tell us about the issues and challenges ahead. President Grantham Announces Senate Republicans Agenda Senate Republicans Senate Bill 01 creates a grace period for small business owners to cure minor operational or administrative oversights before incurring a fine. "Colorado's small businesses are the engine of our economy, and while they are still trying to regain their footing, burdensome regulations and redundancies only serve to hamper growth," said Neville. "We must help our job creators by getting the heavy hand of government out of the way to allow our small businesses to continue to improve Colorado's economy." Senate Bill 02 repeals the Department of Regulatory Agencies scheduling ability and creates a standardized time table for rules review every three years, simplifying the review process and creating easier access for Coloradans.

  • Speaker Mark Ferrandino Opening Day Speech
    Speaker Mark Ferrandino Opening Day Speech Good morning, and welcome to the second session of the 69th Colorado General Assembly. This will be my last legislative session, and once again I thank the members for giving me the great honor of leading this chamber. Let me start by welcoming our newest member - the Honorable KC Becker, representing Clear Creek, Gilpin, Grand and Jackson counties and part of Boulder County. I also want to acknowledge Representative Brian DelGrosso on his election as minority leader. I congratulate you on your new and challenging post and look forward working with you in a productive partnership. And with your new baby on the way, I'll be interested in comparing notes, father to father, about sleep deprivation. I welcome the other 62 representatives who are returning for the second session. I'm glad to see every one of you. We've been through a lot together, but we've maintained the decorum and civility that are key ingredients of our proceedings. I know you will continue to treat one another, and this institution, with the utmost respect.
