Hang onto your wallet, it’s a Colorado legislative session. And the loneliest person under the Gold Dome is Jared Polis, a governor without a nation.
This will be the last regular session of his limited two terms, and he has managed to become disliked by just about everyone.
Of course, no matter how often he claims to be libertarian or business friendly, those on his right are just plain pissed at what he’s done to the state during his seven years. The sad fact is Colorado has never seen a more business-wrecking governor in her history.
The Polis era
A postmortem on the Polis years will reveal the eruption of Colorado’s regulatory Leviathan. Unworkable energy mandates, spiraling minimum wage laws, skyrocketing insurance premiums, taxes and “fees,” an avalanche of new unelected committees, commissions, and boards all with one goal – impede business.
No one from the private sector would say Colorado is better off than it was seven years ago.

“I’m not a Coloradan, but everything I’ve read about Polis states that he has been a disaster of the state’s economy and business.”
He denied the Tren De Aragua gang was operating in Colorado even after they took over an apartment complex. He’ll sign anything they put before him that robs everyday Coloradans and destroys their rights. I hate the guy.
He was elected because he is gay. He and his freak husband live in the Govender’s mansion with “their” son. God only knows what that poor kid has been through.
Governor’s mansion

Colorado used to be a fairly solid Red state. What happened?
Rich Leftists from California moved in and took over the State.

Mail-in balloting happened 20 years ago.
Jared Polis and a Dem legislature.
Californification is what happened.
