New congresswoman targets economic recovery
By LORETTA SWORD THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
November 23, 2008
Rep.-elect Betsy Markey and Rep. John Salazar are making rounds in both of their congressional districts.
U.S. Rep.-elect Betsy Markey said her primary goal as a first-term congresswoman will be to help rebuild the country's economy.
"We're spending so much more money than we're bringing in. We've got to focus on the deficit and focus on jobs," Markey said during an interview Tuesday that included Rep. John Salazar.
Salazar was accompanying her on a whirlwind tour of Southern Colorado, including some of the counties in Markey's 4th Congressional District.

Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey let Morgan County residents listen to a voice message left by President-elect Barack Obama just before a town meeting Saturday.
Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey faced some questions and received some advice during a town meeting at the Fort Morgan City Hall on Saturday.
Democrats and Republicans alike showed up with questions and concerns for Congresswoman-elect Betsy Markey on Saturday.
Markey was at Fort Morgan’s City Hall to speak at a town meeting as part of a tour of the northeast plains counties in the 4th Congressional District.
It was a mostly jubilant crowd of Democrats who hugged and congratulated Markey for her win over Republican Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave in the November election.
Before the meeting, Markey pulled out her cell phone to let her supporters listen to a Nov. 11 voice mail from President-elect Barack Obama.
Facts
- There is absolutely no evidence to support Musgrave’s claim that Markey as a regional director for Sen. Salazar was in any way attempted to influence the Bush Admin contract awarding process.
- Syscom’s government contracts actually decreased from 2004 to 2005; both in number of contracts (25 to 23) and in monetary amount ($742,000 to $593,000).
- The monetary amount of contracts in 2006 only increased by 2% above 2004 levels.
In 2007, the monetary amount increased, but the % non-competitive decreased to 9%. Markey only worked for Sen. Salazar through May 2007.
- Biscom, a company that also provides fax services similar to Syscom Services, increased their number of contracts by almost 5 times from 2002-2004 and 2005-2007 (www.usaspending.gov).
- Captaris, Inc., a company that also provides Rightfax, more than doubled their number of government contracts from the years 2002-2004 to 2005-2007 (www.usaspending.gov).
- Harris, Mackessy & Brennan, a company that also provides Rightfax, increased their number of government contracts by 6 times from the years 2002-2004 to 2005-2007 (www.usaspending.gov).
