It is now illegal in Colorado to pay men and woman differently for doing the same job - an idea that has garnered support from business organizations and women's advocacy groups alike. Now the question will be: Will Senate Bill 85, signed at a Wednesday ceremony by Gov. Jared Polis, bring a stream of pay increases from employers who may have been compensating men and women differently - whether purposefully or inadvertently - or will it bring a torrent of lawsuits against companies by attorneys looking to capitalize on the new law?

The Westminister-based aerospace company beat out four others working to win the $375 million contract to build a major component of what NASA calls the Lunar Gateway, which will be key to the U.S.'s planned moon return.
"Maxar is going to build that for the United States of America," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, announcing the PPE contract selection Thursday during an address about NASA's moon missions on the campus of the Florida Institute of Technology.
The Colorado Business Roundtable would like to invite you, your company, and your organization to join or reaffirm your support for common sense immigration reform. We are excited to re-launch the Colorado Compact on Immigration. We would like to invite your organization to sign on to the Colorado Compact! If you're an existing signatory, kindly provide us with you updated point of contact for your organization.
The Colorado Compact was a bipartisan effort in 2012 to support sensible immigration reform. Driven by the business community, along with stakeholders across Colorado, the Compact recognizes the important role that immigration plays in driving economic growth in our state and need for reform. Our voices must be at the table as Congress grapples with modernizing our immigration system. Colorado is home to half a million immigrants who pay $4.2billion in taxes. They fuel our labor force at a time when we face record low unemployment and are challenged to find people to fill the jobs that keep our state running-- and competitive.

Robbins called for the bill's passage in the full House and further bipartisan cooperation to achieve comprehensive immigration reform.
A renewable energy company is offering a rural power provider hundreds of millions of dollars to shut down coal-fired power plants in Colorado and New Mexico and replace their output with cleaner energy sources. The deal offered by Denver-based Guzman Energy increases the pressure on Westminster-based Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, the wholesale power provider to 43 rural cooperative utilities, to speed up its retirement of coal plants generating electricity and replace them with power from Guzman generated using solar, wind and natural gas.
