On the recordJune 30, 2011
My colleague and I hosted the Colorado Capital Conference a few weeks ago. We had Coloradans from all sections of the State, all walks of life. We had the three main political points of view represented: Democrats, Independents, Republicans. They remarked to Senator Bennet and to me, as well as hearing from a broad range of our colleagues who were gracious enough to take time to speak to our constituents and answer questions, that we all had identified the problem and we all had identified the solution, which was a comprehensive plan that we implemented together. We are here again on the floor this afternoon to call on all of our colleagues to join us in working together, finding that common ground, because there is a lot at stake but there is enormous opportunity. My colleague was a successful businessman in one of his previous lives, but he may want to comment on the capital conference as well.
