Colorado’s corporate exodus: Nearly 12,000 jobs gone — and the tracker Polis hopes you’ll ignore
By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project
I found something interesting in Jon Caldara's recent op ed that I thought worth sharing.
A quote (with link left intact--though I link to the opportunity tracker separately at bottom so you can share that link if you've a mind to) shows what I mean:
"So, what's the pattern here? It's not just 'companies move sometimes.' We're building a list. A tracker. A scoreboard. The Colorado Chamber literally maintains a 'Lost Opportunities' compilation of companies leaving, downsizing, or choosing to expand somewhere else. Nearly 12,000 jobs have moved away. When you need a tracker for corporate departures, you're no longer 'a state with some challenges.' You're a gate agent announcing final boarding for Flight 970 to Anywhere Else."
Ye...
