The Beauprez camp sent out a press release that includes the following:
"Will Bill Ritter veto legislation that weakens Colorado's tort environment, making it easier for lawsuit abuse to hurt Colorado business?"Will Bill Bitter veto legislation that mandates large (or small) business to spend a stipulated percentage of their revenue on providing healthcare to employees?
"Will Bill Ritter veto legislation that makes it easier for an All-Union Agreement to be forced upon an employer?
"Will Bill Ritter veto legislation that liberalizes Colorado's Workers Comp laws?"
I sure as hell hope this is an attempt to court small business at the wholesale level, because if I'm one of those Chamber of Commerce Republicans who's been hanging around with Blair Richardson, I look at that list and think, "hmmm...barriers to entry...EX-cellent. Smithers, get me Ritter."
UPDATE: And upon further reflection, if I'm Beauprez, I'm thinking that Marc Holtzman's rolodex looks pretty good right about now.
