Colorado Democratic Gubernatorial Primary Debate

Published | Video Starts at 35:58

We need to be rigorous and careful because when we do adopt more regulatory burdens than necessary because we're not rigorous and careful, it can make it harder for businesses to operate. And I've heard that about businesses. I heard one today who said it was too hard to get the business located and sited, so they chose Utah instead of Colorado. When I'm governor, I'm going to make sure I'm a champion for business. And businesses know the wind's at their back, not in their face to make sure I take on these obstacles. (35:58–36:09)
