My Economic Plan
Posted May 3rd, 2008 by Betsy Markey
This is the beginning to a long conversation that I hope to engage in with the voters of Colorado’s Fourth District. In the coming years, we face significant challenges with the economy and specifically with many of the issues that drive voters’ concerns about the economy – healthcare, renewable energy, the ongoing cost of the War in Iraq, and our burgeoning federal deficit. As we come closer to the election, I plan to address those concerns individually and at greater length.
