Jared Polis

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses and discussing the various ideas for updating and improving the rule and legislation around fiduciary responsibility.

The Email Privacy Act is the most cosponsored bill in Congress awaiting floor action, and the problem it addresses is one of the most pressing constitutional concerns of our modern age: How can we stop the advancement of technology from…

I thank the gentleman from Alabama for yielding me 30 minutes, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. (Mr. POLIS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

I think, if we set politics aside and consider the facts objectively, we can all agree that BFI should be considered a joint employer under these circumstances.

Study after study also shows that workers' diminished bargaining power is one of the key reasons that we've seen a decade of wage stagnation.

Our economy is at a crossroads. The link between productivity and wage growth has been broken for 4 decades.

The National Labor Relations Board should be allowed to follow their process... without Congress prejudicing its motives.

I hope we can begin addressing the needs of American workers of ensuring that the productivity and wage gap narrows.

Instead of calling this bill the Protecting Local Business Opportunity Act, we really should call it the Shell Game Loophole.

I personally applaud both the Freshii decision as well as the BFI decision.

Our economy is at a crossroads.

We have a lot of Democrats that want to talk about keeping government open. I hear no Republicans here. With good respect to my friend from Georgia, where are the Republican ideas to keep government open?

I say to my colleague from Texas, we have so many speakers on our side of the aisle--in fact, both sides of the aisle--folks like Mr. Fincher and others who want to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank. If he has additional time, I know that…

If we defeat the previous question, I will offer an amendment to allow the House to vote on reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank, as proposed by Mr. Fincher yesterday. It is the same exact language that passed the Senate by a vote of…

I'm looking forward to your implementation of the self-reported monogamy recommendation, which I am certainly in strong support of.

I think the majority of Coloradans believe that we have, effectively, no regulations around fracking, because we don't.

If your council didn't want fracking, you don't think that the Federal or state government should force fracking to occur on your lands.

I think that we should allow tribes or states or counties to decide how to implement fracking, whether to have it or not, where to have it, and the rules under which it occurs.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado will be postponed. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Tipton The Acting CHAIR. It is…

I have many of my constituents who are living in holdings on Federal lands. What happens if Federal land management policy changes their rights-of-way and makes it harder to access where they live? Where are they supposed to come up with…

I would like to inquire as to how much time remains on both sides. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Utah has 3\3/4\ minutes remaining.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Strike section 203. Strike title III. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 347, the gentleman…

I would like to inquire as to how much time remains. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado has 1\3/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Minnesota has 2\3/4\ minutes remaining.

The gentleman was granted his own time, which erroneously he had yielded back to the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Colorado is correct. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from North Carolina

To be clear, the gentleman was not yielded time from the gentleman from Virginia. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is correct.
