LA JUNTA, Colo.—House Republicans began the final day of their Building a Better Colorado Tour this morning with a town hall hosted at Otero Junior College. Area residents gathered to meet with Speaker of the House Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, and House Majority Whip B.J. Nikkel on Colorado’s jobs and economy and to submit their own questions to the Republican leadership team.
“Colorado’s rural communities represent an integral part of our state’s economy,” said Nikkel, R-Loveland. “We recognize these communities are in no way immune to our state’s economic woes and will continue the fight together.”
In the past legislative session, rural constituencies heavily applauded a Republican measure to repeal the ‘Ag-Tax,’ one of the ‘dirty dozen’ tax increases Democrats passed when they controlled the state legislature. House Republicans have vowed to continue their work to lift burdensome regulations on Colorado’s job creators.
From La Junta, House Republicans will travel to Pueblo for a tour of Goodrich Aerospace’s manufacturing facility and a meeting with leaders in education and the business community at CSU-Pueblo.
