As we noted in a press release today, Forbes Magazine has recognized Colorado for the economic powerhouse it’s become. In overall business climate, Colorado ranks 4th. Much more eye-popping, however, are Colorado’s prospects for growth and prosperity: an incredible 2nd, up from 4th in the most recent survey. And this in the middle of a recession. According to Forbes, Colorado even beats in Maine in overall quality of life.
One of the principle reasons for Colorado’s high marks is TABOR, which has moderated the growth of Colorado’s government and has allowed its economy to bloom and provide jobs for the million-plus new Colorado residents since 1992.
Our opponents have consistently denigrated Colorado – its economy, its schools and its quality of life. Like robots, they mindlessly repeat two words: “Colorado” and “devastated”. They do it without a shred of evidence and with disregard of the facts. They try to portray Colorado as the all-purpose bogeyman.
But the truth has a way of winning out – even over the self-interested people and groups opposing TABOR.
