Now so many more people can enjoy Colorado’s parks and open spaces … because they don’t have jobs to go to.
Even by the low, low standards we have become accustomed to.

Number #1 reason GJEP gives for locating business in GJ?
CO also ranks 13th (out of 50, for BJ) among states for a favorable business tax climate.

somewhere recently. 5th I think.
Of course on matters of health and education we rank with MS
If I could just find it … let me lok over here … nope those are stories about Frontier, 1stData, Qwest and Coors HQs leaving … maybe over here, nope more ONG jobs leaving …. Malone and Liberty, nope signally Canada as a likely future residence …. yeah hows that Connoco 7,000 job addition going by the way?
Give me a few hours, I’ll find it.
Here is what some of the O&G execs have recently said about the CO o&g regulations:

In 2009 was listed as 4th. Not too shabby.

and they have been made without much pain. CO residents will gain for years from his administration’s efforts.
You can’t hit all A’s in politics. Accomplishing what he did, even if not in a recession, would be outstanding.
Overall, energy/environment have been his biggest achievements and will be his long term legacy.
The “new energy economy” sounds hokey but it’s real. It represents a very constructive approach to move away from traditional extraction while balancing economic development with environmental responsibility.
The overall tone of his admin has been to attempt to restore a balance–not to go all enviro as his opponents claim, but to give environmental views a seat at the table and a fair hearing, as opposed to lip service or outright hostility. The re-structuring of the state O&G commission is a case in point. It’s not that O&G are disenfranchised, it’s that other views can be heard–community quality of life, sportsmen, enviros too.
The major shortcomings in my view are (1) the failure to pass the referendum to increase O&G severance tax in 2008–Ritter was politically ineffective to educate/persuade the voters (nothing new there). This $ would have come in handy during the state budget crisis. (2) I specifically disagree with his attempts to undermine the Roadless Rule–he is only muddying the water and gives his successors a chance to drag their feet when the matter is resolved federally.
Put it this way, if the federal govt was as environmentally progressive as Ritter has been, I would be a lot happier right now. And it remains to be seen if Hick will be as good.
