Report Card on Ritter’s Economy

Colorado’s latest economic forecast predicts some tough times ahead, and it's not hard to see why.

Democrats in charge of Colorado are failing the public with their harmful economic policies, including tax increases on businesses and consumers and onerous restrictions that discourage economic activity.

Quotes from the forecast on predictions for Colorado’s job market, economic performance, and energy sector make it easy to see that Democrats are falling short of the mark.

“The Democrats' management of the economy is making a bad situation that much worse,” said House Republican Leader Mike May, R-Parker. “Higher taxes, increased regulation, and a hostile attitude toward business have hampered Colorado’s recovery. Colorado Democrats are just not making the grade when it comes to managing the economy.”
