Job #1: create a state-owned bank [View all]
For the past 12 years I've watched our state legislature do absolutely nothing to help Coloradoans. Creating a state-owned bank will drastically improve the lives of Coloradoans and drastically improve the situation for our state government. This should be bill #1 when our legislature returns in January.
"35% to 40% of everything we buy goes to interest." Imagine if we could direct that to the needs of our own state rather than the pockets of Wall Street crooks like Goldman Sachs.

Yes, there are other very important issues in Colorado--such as the gay marriage bill. Yet establishing a state bank will improve the lives of all Coloradoans for generations to come. Some of this money could go toward k-12 and college education.
Finally, DO something, rather than screwing with the liquor laws! Don't even think of introducing another liquor law! That's practically the only thing our worthless state legislature has done in the last 12 years. Voters will no longer accept the status quo of being screwed by our truly worthless state legislature and governor. Do it, or pack your bags, because the voters are very angry.
