Community ,,,,,,Engagement

Retailers are pivotal in fostering community engagement and strengthening the bonds between local businesses and residents. By participating in cause-related marketing, collaborating with fellow retailers, and supporting other entrepreneurs, they contribute significantly to the vibrancy and growth of their communities. As we celebrate Small Business Week, let us recognize these creative entrepreneurs' contributions and appreciate the unique ways they bring communities together - especially after the pandemic..

School-To-Career

 ....With employers across Colorado facing continued shortages of talented workers, Gov. Jared Polis signed into law a pair of bills that industry leaders believe could help to ramp up the school-to-career pipeline.

 ....At a late-morning ceremony at Colorado Mountain College in Salida, Polis inked House Bill 1246, which sets aside $45 million for students seeking degrees and credentials in labor-challenged fields such as health care, construction, law enforcement and education. Then at a ceremony at Adams State University in Alamosa, the Democrat governor signed Senate Bill 205, which spends $21 million to offer $1,500 scholarships for continuing education to some 14,000 students graduating from high school in the next school year.

... ......……........................................…School-To-Career Pipeline

$70 Million To Workforce Development

 ....At the end of a legislative session uniquely focused on utility companies and their operations, legislators and the state’s two investor-owned utilities may have hit the sweet spot on a pair of bills that will impact how they calculate rates and ensure the safety of their gas pipelines.

....Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday signed Senate Bill 291, a measure aimed at slowing future utility rate hikes through limitations on costs that can be included in the rates. And over the coming weeks, he will decide the fate of House Bill 1216, which passed on the final day of the session Monday and adds new requirements on pipeline inspections.

....The special attention on utilities this session stemmed from natural-gas costs that rose 75% over the winter and were passed along to customers who struggled to pay bills in some cases.

....The citizen outrage over those costs led legislative leaders to create a Joint Select Committee on Rising Utility Rates that examined structural ways to reduce volatility in those rates.

Workforce Development

Many Incentives In Energy Bill

....Colorado’s twin pushes for greater adoption of renewable energy and faster reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions now feature a bevy of new incentives, though those come partially at the expense of tax credits for the oil and gas industry.

....Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday signed into law House Bill 1272, a wide-ranging offering of tax policies with a shared goal of decarbonization. Standing beside the bill’s sponsors, the Democratic governor inked the measure at Colorado Cycling Company in Aurora just three days after the close of the 2023 legislative session.

What Happens If The U.S. Defaults

...The U.S. economy and global financial system are all underpinned by the idea that the U.S. government – unlike others around the world – always pays its bills. Investments in U.S. debt are considered “risk-free”, which means the federal government pays less to borrow money. All other debts and their interest rates are based off the risk of that debt relative to risk-free treasuries. It is also a principal reason that the U.S. dollar is the global reserve currency, giving the U.S. both economic and national security advantages (advantages that China, for example, is looking to undermine through a competitor to the dollar).  

Default Consequences

Entrepreneurs Keep Learning

...Successful entrepreneurs never stop learning about their industry, business, and customers. They look for ongoing training opportunities for themselves and their staff. Free resources for small business owners help you break into the global marketplace, assess economic growth, and identify new business opportunities.

Civics: An Antidote To Division

......A shocking number of Americans can't name a single branch of our government. It's hard to believe, but it's the truth. The recent national civics test scores for eighth-graders point to a significant problem. Meanwhile, AI and other technologies are rapidly evolving, transforming jobs and society in ways we're still figuring out. 

.....What does this mean for all of us, and why should we care? Today, it feels like we all can't agree on anything. But learning about civics, or how our society works, can help us understand each other better. A study by the American Political Science Association found that students who learn about civics are better at understanding other people's points of view, even if they don't agree. We need this kind of understanding to work together, whether it's in school, at work, or in our neighborhoods.

Have you wondered what it was like to travel the Overland Trail during the Colorado gold rush? How much could go on a wagon? How long will it take to get to Colorado territory? How much money is needed to homestead out west? What dangers and challenges will we face during our journey? All of these questions and more will be discussed at History Café on Wed., May 31 at 10:30 a.m. While snacking on muffins and coffee/tea, participants will enjoy a realistic look at the adventures and the perils that faced those traveling on this “super highway” that led thousands to leave their home and family behind and search for gold and land in the 1860s. This is the final History Café before taking a short summer break in June.
