The Attorney General's Office just answered that today in an opinion. |
The governor believes that private toll roads will be important to the state in the coming years, and it is critical that such options be available to the future. |
The governor believes the salaries have not been raised in eight years and should be adjusted from time to time. |
The Governor felt it was very important to assure that future governors and future legislatures would have the ability to consider options such as private investment in our highway system. The language proposed for this year's bill protects that option while also protecting property owners. |
The governor has no involvement one way or the other. There's been no interaction with the petroleum marketers or the state agency that regulates gasoline or with legislators. |
The governor is pleased to see the legislature arrive to a consensus on a smoking ban that seems to be supported by most people throughout Colorado. |
The governor is taking this quite seriously. The School Finance Act faces a likely veto without this amendment. |
The governor strongly believes students at American schools should be able to display the American flag. Who could disagree with that? |
The governor thinks this is good for teachers and good for the kids. Right now, Colorado is 48th out of the 50 states for classroom spending - we can do better than that. |
The governor, after any major incident, always plans a debriefing. Those wheels were in motion actually several days ago, when we started the entire operation of Safe Haven. |
The governor's concerns were never specific to Super Slab. The governor's concern was to protect future governors' and future legislatures' ability to consider options such as private investment in our highway system. |
The process will take as much time as the process needs. CDOT officials and federal officials will run the process as they see fit. |
The real issue will be how the state will fund the improvements. That decision will be made long after Governor Owens leaves office. |
The state would take a look at what lands are available and see how they fit into the mission of state parks or another agency. |
There is agreement over every dollar that is in there. |
