Y Roberts Y 31 32 33 ______34 35 36 On motion of Senator Morse, and with the unanimous consent of those elected to the 37 Senate, the Senate stood in recess to hear the opening day remarks of Senate President 38 Brandon C. Shaffer and Minority Leader Mike Kopp. The text of their remarks follows. 39 40 ______41 42 Senate in recess. 43 ______44 45 46 Remarks of President Shaffer: 47 48 Good morning. Welcome to the opening session of the sixty-eighth General Assembly of 49 Colorado. 50 51 From my vantage here on the podium I see a Senate which is a remarkable collection of 52 human diversity and talent. 53 54 We serve in a Senate of women and men in nearly equal numbers. Women chair seven of 55 the eleven standing committees. We are privileged to have three Latina members - the 56 largest number ever to serve at the same time in the Colorado Senate. And we have the 57 honor of two members of the LGBT community. While this diversity would have been 58 unimaginable to our parents, it is both natural and unremarkable to our children. I am 59 proud to serve with all of you. Today, we need your talent and energy more than ever. 60 61 The challenges we face cannot be overstated. 62 63 In 2001, the size of our General Fund budget was about $6.6 billion. Nine years later, in 64 2010, the size of the General Fund budget was again about $6.6 billion. 65 66 It's not that the General Fund didn't increase over the past 9 years. It did. But as the state 67 has experienced declining revenues caused by the recession, we closed budget shortfalls of 68 over $4.2 billion – back to 2001 levels. 69 70 During the same 9-year period, we saw significant growth in our state's population. The 71 recent census report shows that we grew by almost 17% - the ninth fastest in the nation. 72 Page 18 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 12, 2011

We have over 700,000 new Coloradans: including about 70,000 new students in our K-12 1 public schools, 35,000 new students in our institutions of higher education, 150,000 new 2 people on our Medicaid roles, and 2,500 new inmates in our prisons. Indeed, we are 3 challenged to do more with less. 4 5 Colorado's economy has fared better than some. Our unemployment rate is 8.6%, almost a 6 full point below the national average of 9.4%. 7 8 However, these numbers have little meaning to the 229,900 people in our state who are 9 looking for jobs, but are still without work. 10 11 And that's why this Legislature will make the tough choices necessary to put Coloradans 12 back to work, create jobs and expand our economy. 13 14 During each of the past three years, Democrats and Republicans alike have emphasized 15 economic development and job growth as the cornerstone of their legislative agendas. We 16 have both brought forward proposals that have helped in this regard. For example: 17 18 In 2008 we assessed the needs for statewide broadband access laying the foundation for a 19 $100 million federal grant to create an affordable, statewide broadband network that will 20 provide under-served schools, libraries, colleges and communities with high-speed Internet 21 access. 22 23 In 2009 we created the Job Growth Incentive Fund to provide a credit on payroll taxes for 24 businesses that create new jobs in Colorado; since then, companies like DaVita, RePower 25 USA, and the Sierra Nevada Corp. have located their businesses here, bringing hundreds 26 of new jobs with them. 27 28 And in 2010 we put the capstone on the New Energy Economy by increasing the state's 29 renewable energy standard and passing the Clean Air Clean Jobs Act; further emphasizing 30 our commitment to technology and innovation, and creating an atmosphere where 31 public-private partnerships - such as the one between NASA and the Colorado Association 32 for Manufacturing and Technology - can thrive. 33 34 Because of these proposals and others like them, Colorado is currently rated by 35 Forbes.com as the fourth best state for fostering economic growth; CNBC ranked 36 Colorado the third best state for business; and the American Legislative Exchange Council 37 says Colorado's economic outlook is second best of all 50 states. 38 39 While these are encouraging signs, everyone is frustrated by how slowly the economy is 40 turning around. It can be compared to turning an aircraft carrier – it's a big ship and it 41 takes a while to maneuver. 42 43 As a former Surface Warfare Officer, I can attest to that. It can take miles to turn a slow 44 moving aircraft carrier. But that only tells part of the story: before you start the turn, you 45 must first secure each aircraft aboard. A modern carrier may carry 80 planes, and just one 46 F/A-18 Super Hornet costs taxpayers $57 million, so you better get it right. The time, care 47 and preparation taken before throwing the rudder over is more important, more difficult 48 and more time consuming than the actual maneuver itself. 49 50 The same is true of our economy. Our recovery will take time, and will require advance 51 care and preparation. 52 53 It's here that we have an opportunity. The quality of our work today will determine how 54 fast we recover and the direction for our state for the next century. 55 56 And the area where we have the greatest potential for growth - both in human and 57 economic capital - is in our education system. 58 59 Kelly Brough, President and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce recently 60 said, "We rely on our university system to grow our future work force. They are the 61 lifeblood of Colorado's knowledge-based economy." 62 63 In a recent Denver Post op-ed she also observed that over 60% of Denver's future jobs will 64 require more than a high school diploma, and that a 1% increase in college graduation 65 rates will return approximately $1.8 billion to Denver's economy. 66 67 A recent analysis of the University of Colorado's economic impact on our state concluded 68 that: 69 70 1. For every $1 of unrestricted state general fund support, CU returns $40 to the 71 Colorado economy; 72 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 12, 2011 Page 19

2. CU contributes $6.3 billion to the state's economy annually through its demand for 1 goods and services; and 2 3. CU is Colorado's fourth-largest employer, with some 26,000 employees, and is 3 responsible for another 30,000 jobs related to the university's endeavors. 4 5 Similar statistics and projections hold true for each region of our state and each institution 6 of higher education. For example on the Western Slope, Mesa State College has an 7 estimated impact of $125.3 million on the regional economy. When both direct and 8 indirect spending is taken into account, the estimate expands to $225.6 million worth of 9 economic activity. 10 11 And in Northern Colorado, Colorado State University, Community College, 12 University of Northern Colorado, and Aims Community College, together employ more 13 than 9,700 workers and provide an annual payroll in excess of $400 million. 14 15 There is no question, there is no argument and there is no doubt: education equals jobs. 16 An educated workforce attracts business and a healthy business climate is the foundation 17 for a high quality-of-life for every Coloradan. 18 19 Colorado is quickly moving from a "New Energy Economy" to a "Knowledge-Based 20 Economy" where a strong educational system is an economic imperative. 21 22 As we head into a session where we are staring down the barrel of millions of dollars of 23 cuts to our K-12 and higher education systems, we must consciously prioritize education 24 first as we consider every bill that comes before the legislature. 25 26 Today I designate the Knowledge-Based Economy Fund as Senate Bill 1. Senator Bob 27 Bacon will be its prime sponsor and it will create an account to set funds aside throughout 28 this session and dedicate them specifically to education funding. 29 30 I challenge each of you to view this session through the Knowledge-Based Economy lens. 31 If your goal is to shrink the size of government - to eliminate programs and root out 32 wasteful government spending - let me help you. Let me help you identify those programs 33 that don't make sense, those functions of government that can be done more efficiently and 34 less expensively, and let me help you redirect the funds currently being wasted to a higher 35 cause: our Knowledge-Based Economy. 36 37 If your objective is to ensure Colorado's government is an effective partner with the private 38 sector; a partner that empowers the private sector; a partner that creates an environment 39 where private industry flourishes and thrives; a partner that encourages businesses to 40 locate and relocate here, creating jobs and opportunities for the future; then, again, let me 41 help you. Let's do it together by finding resources in our budget to reduce cuts to our 42 Knowledge-Based Economy. 43 44 In an economic climate where we will face enormous challenges, we must fuel the 45 Knowledge-Based Economy with human capital that will help us turn this ship of state 46 toward more prosperous times. 47 48 I'm often asked how we will move forward, especially in light of recent changes in the 49 balance of power here at the Capitol. My standard response is, "The more things change, 50 the more they stay the same." 51 52 Last session the General Assembly considered 649 bills and passed 458 of them to the 53 Governor. Of those that passed, 36% had both Democratic and Republican "prime" 54 sponsors; 79% had bipartisan "co-sponsors." 55 56 We demonstrated that we know how to work together and that's exactly what the people of 57 Colorado want us to do. 58 59 This session, we have an opportunity to do more of the same. We have already established 60 the bipartisan Joint Select Committee on Redistricting. 61 62 We also have opportunities to tackle reform as we consider health insurance 63 exchanges – a requirement of the federal health care legislation, but also a 64 recommendation that came out of the 208 Commission on health care reform appointed by 65 Republican Governor Bill Owens. 66 67 We can also make bipartisan progress on Constitutional reform – ending ballot initiative 68 warfare while protecting the rights of Coloradans to petition their government. 69 70 And cost recovery audits – Ensuring we get what we inspect, not just what we expect from 71 government agencies is yet another area where we can work together. 72 Page 20 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 12, 2011

We can continue our progress on reforming our child welfare system to ensure the most 1 vulnerable among us are safe from abuse and exploitation. 2 3 These are just a few areas that are ripe for bipartisan cooperation and success. There are 4 many, many others and it is our responsibility to focus our attention on these areas of 5 common ground to get things done during this session. 6 7 It won't be easy and we will make many tough decisions. But, the human spirit can power 8 over adversity. 9 10 As Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens 11 can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." 12 13 By acting collectively we will triumph over formidable odds. This is no time to resist an 14 answer because we don't like the messenger. This is no time to reject solutions because 15 they come with a liberal or conservative label. It is no time for the personal prerogatives 16 of partisan politics. 17 18 It is time to restore confidence of the people of Colorado that we can govern. It is time to 19 embrace solutions tested by intellectual rigor and common sense, solutions crafted in 20 compromise, solutions that benefit the well-being of our people. 21 22 It is my hope this General Assembly can act to make Colorado a better community for 23 every section and sector of this great state, for every community of interest and for every 24 political philosophy. 25 26 This is the hope of the people of Colorado, this is their direction and these are their needs. 27 We must do no less on their behalf. 28 29 ______30 31 32 President Shaffer recognized Minority Leader Senator Mike Kopp to address the Senate. 33 34 ______35 36 37 Remarks of Minority Leader Kopp: 38 39 Mr. President, Mr. Majority Leader, Senate Colleagues, honored guests, thank you for 40 allowing me the honor of taking a few moments to express my thoughts about the 41 momentous legislative session before us – and more broadly, to try and express a few of 42 the sentiments of the Republican caucus. 43 44 It is heartwarming as always to see the family members and special friends who have 45 given so graciously of their time to mark this first legislative day with us. To you, a 46 special thank you. 47 48 I'd like to also welcome the new senators. Democrat Senators Irene Aguilar, Angela 49 Giron, Lucia Guzman, and Jeanne Nicholson. And joining the Republican team this year, 50 we have Senators Kevin Grantham and Kent Lambert from southern Colorado, and 51 representing our west slope delegation, we welcome Senators Steve King, Ellen Roberts 52 and Jean White. Congratulations to all of you. 53 54 And finally, if you will allow me a small indulgence: to my kids who are here, Meghan, 55 Ethan and Allie-Grace, you are the reason I am here, and I'm glad you could pry yourselves 56 away from school to come. And Soren, if you're watching, I'll see you soon little buddy. 57 But mostly, I want to say to my beautiful wife, Kimberly, it means the world to have you 58 here today. To me, your courage, grace and dignity shine like heaven's brightest. 59 60 First things first, we elected a Democrat, again, to be our Senate President. You know, 61 President Shaffer, if you really wanted to be bipartisan, you could pass the gavel to one of 62 the Republicans in the chamber for the session. I'd do the same for you. 63 64 But in all seriousness, Mr. President, you have been re-elected to preside over the senate. 65 This speaks highly of you and your abilities. I congratulate you, as do the Republican 66 senators seated in this room. Together, we will take on some remarkable challenges. So 67 I'd like to publicly commend you for working to open a productive dialogue between us. 68 Being both constructive and good-humored when we reach impasse will insure that we 69 live up to the obligations of the office of senator. 70 71 Speaking of those obligations, I must confess, I did think – briefly – of moving a motion to 72 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 12, 2011 Page 21 publicly read the Colorado Constitution at the start of the session, but then decided we 1 could not afford to go into the special session that would be required to finish our business 2 if we did that. Although, a veteran lawmaker once taught me that senators should make 3 time each session, to sit at their desks in this chamber, and read through it as often as 4 possible. It's a good challenge for all of us to become conversant in our state's highest law. 5 6 Now, what about the 120 days ahead of us? When it comes to predicting what the 68th 7 General Assembly will look like, most people recognize the steepness of the mountains we 8 must climb if we are going to do right by our charge and the people of the state who have 9 placed their trust in us. But that's okay. In a state with 53 "14ers", it seems fitting to think 10 of our challenges in this way. 11 12 And isn't it challenge after all, that draws the best out of leaders? I like John F. Kennedy's 13 words on the subject: "The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or 14 cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream 15 of things that never were." 16 17 So what mountains must we climb, and how do Senate Republicans propose to do it? 18 19 First, we must reignite economic growth in Colorado. 20 21 Republicans are interested in taking bold and constructive leadership in rebuilding and 22 supercharging our state's economy. We must create an atmosphere where businesses of all 23 kind, not just a favored few, are made welcome by government at all levels. 24 25 For Republicans, this means above all, that Colorado's government must build a low tax 26 policy framework. Getting there will require some teamwork from both sides of the aisle. 27 We ask for you and your caucus, Mr. President, to join us in a conversation about ways 28 that we can begin the reinstating the critical tax incentives that were eliminated just last 29 year. These have cost jobs and caused companies to leave the state, and we ask for your 30 help in reversing this trend. 31 32 And we ask our Democratic colleagues to re-engage our shared interest in eliminating the 33 onerous business personal property tax. Let's move from interest to action in this 34 legislative session. And let's go a step further still by considering other ways that we 35 might promote a low tax and fee policy. 36 37 Finally, on the subject of taxation, I would make a final request in most direct terms. 38 Please join us in keeping whole the taxpayer protections in the Constitution. Colorado 39 citizens rightly demand that they have the right to vote on tax increases. We must end the 40 marginalization of this right. And practically, we should recognize that the restraint that 41 the Taxpayer Bill of Rights has brought to government spending has served to forestall 42 even more serious budgeting problems. 43 44 I believe that taking these bold steps would send a clear signal to that Colorado 45 businessman or woman out there, that making that capital investment, and hiring that 46 additional employee, just might make sense again. 47 48 Let us also join forces to reform our regulatory systems. Let us lead the state in achieving 49 focused and far-reaching reform of any outdated, overly complicated and costly business 50 regulations and rules. Let's commit to abolishing any incentive that regulators may have to 51 exact heavy penalties. For Republicans, we have set the goal of achieving a 15% 52 reduction in the compliance costs borne by regulated businesses in our state. 53 54 Members of the Republican caucus have already been working directly with regulated 55 businesses across the state. We ask Senate Democrats as well as Governor Hickenlooper 56 to do this economy-stimulating work with us. There is more than enough to go around. 57 The work we have done, can become the senate's work, not just the Republicans. Let's do 58 this together and next year at this time, we can celebrate our shared successes, measured in 59 Colorado job growth. 60 61 And let us also commit to the job creators in Colorado that we aim to not just build, but to 62 sustain a lean, predictable, and stable regulatory environment. Let ours become the envy of 63 the nation and a ray of opportunity even in difficult times. 64 65 Our next great challenge, of course, concerns the state budget. 66 67 I believe that the times demand that we reduce the cost, size and complexity of Colorado's 68 government. We must fundamentally re-envision the way we deliver on the critical 69 services of a well-functioning government. This work can no longer be put off. It has been 70 thrust upon us by a slow economy. 71 72 Page 22 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 12, 2011

Let's jointly design a budget architecture that reflects clear priorities for spending. 1 · In this way we will insure that our children are educated and taught in safe classrooms 2 and innovative schools where the achievement gap is finally made a thing of the past. 3 · We will be able to envision a way to make real mobility improvements on the I-70 4 corridor and on the rest of the transportation grid. 5 · We can make needed improvements in public safety programs like increasing wildfire 6 mitigation efforts on the West Slope and Front Range, and broadening Peter Groff's 7 program in the state patrol that clamps down on illegal immigration, 8 · And we will be certain that we'll be able to provide a cost-contained, accountable, and 9 basic safety net for the most vulnerable among us. 10 11 And as we endeavor to do this, let us join together in demonstrating a surprising new 12 regard for spending discipline. Also, let us no longer rely upon the excesses of a 13 spendthrift federal government to get us through the next tough time. 14 15 And as we do these things, let's not forget about the family. It won't surprise you that I 16 think had it right when he observed that "All great change in America 17 begins at the dinner table." It's good to remind ourselves from time to time, that strong 18 families make great neighborhoods, churches, synagogues, and in turn, great local 19 communities. 20 21 In these places, lending a hand in times of need, pointing to great hopes on distant 22 horizons, practicing and modeling compassion, loving children and showing them the way 23 that they should walk – these are all just parts of everyday life. And, while Colorado's 24 political leaders want the best for its citizens, it's healthy and appropriate to acknowledge 25 the shortcomings of any government, and that the real promise for a brighter tomorrow is 26 carried about in the hearts of our families. 27 28 Together, we can answer the call of the people of Colorado and accomplish these 29 objectives if we are willing to build bridges of partnership. 30 31 Building such bridges seems to be unnatural in politics. It requires civility, more than a 32 little humor, and a willingness to be constructive even while maintaining one's own closely 33 held principles. 34 35 Beyond that, it requires that our only non-negotiables become those of the people of 36 Colorado, and not our political parties. 37 38 So, borrowing a line from Dick Morris, I'd like to say to the citizens in our state who are 39 suspicious that something must be in the water here in the capitol that makes us think and 40 behave the way we do. I therefore pledge to boil all drinking water in this building in order 41 to kill the bugs of bad judgment. And, Mr. President, since I'm providing the boiled water, 42 I might as well give you a teabag to put in it. And don't worry, it's not from Boston, it's 43 from Boulder. Celestial Seasonings. I got you the Tension Tamer. 44 45 In closing, I'd like to say to the citizens of Colorado, thank you again for entrusting your 46 government to our leadership and judgment. May God bless you and bless our efforts here 47 on your behalf. 48 49 50 ______51 52 Senate reconvened. 53 ______54 55 56 On motion of Senator Morse, and with the unanimous consent of those elected to the 57 Senate, the remarks of President Shaffer and Minority Leader Kopp were ordered spread 58 upon the pages of the journal. 59 60 ______61 62 Senate in recess.
