Colorado business leaders pan public health option, worker protections bills Derek Draplin, The Center Square © Provided by Washington Examiner
Colorado business leaders on Monday panned a pair of Democratic-backed bills in the Legislature they say will harm the state’s small businesses.
The National Federation of Independent Business-Colorado hosted a news conference Monday along with local chambers of commerce, small business owners, and Republican House Minority Leader Rep. Hugh McKean, R-Loveland, to discuss Senate Bill 176 and House Bill 1232.
SB 176, known as the Protecting Opportunities And Workers Act (POWR) Act, seeks to expand protections for workers and would allow claims to be taken directly to a county or district court. The bill also would expand protections to contractors, interns and volunteers.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) A group trying to repeal an emergency powers law that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer used for months to issue coronavirus restrictions cleared a key hurdle Monday when the Michigan elections bureau said it collected enough petitions.
Unlock Michigan, which has ties to Republicans, submitted an estimated 460,358 valid signatures, more than the roughly 340,000 needed, according to a staff report. If the bipartisan Board of State Canvassers agrees with the recommendation to certify the initiative at a Thursday meeting, the GOP-led Legislature will likely pass the measure rather than let it go to a public vote in 2022. The Democratic governor could not veto it.
Not long ago, Democrats made a concerted effort to rebrand themselves as âprogressive.â Evidently, too many voters had come to view the old âliberalâ label as synonymous with big government. Meaning, ever more taxes, fees and regulations that smother prosperity and kill jobs.
If Coloradoâs now-âprogressiveâ ruling Democrats persist on their present path, they may have to rebrand once again in the near future. Their new label, after all, does little to obscure their same old penchant for slapping a chokehold on the stateâs economy every time they seek to impose some new, presumed social good.
While the state constitution prevents them from raising taxes without a vote of the people, the Democratsâ agenda has been heavy on fees and regulations since voters entrusted them with all the levers of statewide government in the 2018 election.
