Colorado is an increasingly progressive state, putting restrictions on businesses in the name of consumer and environmental protection. Is that driving businesses out of Colorado, Mr. Bennett? I would say that it is. It is. It is really problematic that we are driving businesses out of Colorado for the first time since the 1980s. And in the 1980s, it was an oil and gas downturn that. That was the cause. (34:18–34:25)
