Lower tax rates for businesses and fewer income tax rates for individuals. Those are just some of the highlights of the Republican plan for tax reform that was unveiled last week.

Washington - Business Roundtable today issued the following statement regarding the release of the "Big Six" Unified Tax Reform Framework, which includes key elements for economic growth - a globally competitive corporate tax rate of 20 percent and a shift toward a territorial tax system:
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Chairman of Business Roundtable: "Today's announcement is an encouraging step forward in our shared goal of a tax system that delivers higher economic growth, job creation and wages that our country desperately needs. Congress must act with urgency on this framework and move the legislative process forward. Congress and the Administration are committed to tax reform, and business leaders are equally committed to pushing beyond our parochial interests to achieve a result that benefits th economy and America workers.

The Colorado Smart Cities Alliance, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the United States, officially launched Monday September 25, 2017. The statewide, multi-jurisdictional, public-private coalition aims to make Colorado a leader in the development of intelligent, 21st century infrastructure, improving everything from transportation and housing to public safety and the environment for the state's 5.5-plus million residents.

Jamie Dimon is know for being outspoken - not that the chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & CO. doesn't have second thoughts about speaking out sometimes.
"I worry sometimes it may come back to bite me," the man who runs the nation's biggest bank told me Monday. But I think it's a mistake to think that somehow business is not allowed to have a voice at all."

If Dish Network co-founder Charlie Ergen could turn back time and give his much-younger self advice, he would tell himself to use sandbags to stabilize a trailer that delivered the first giant satellite dish to a Pagosa Springs customer in 1980.
But had he done that, Ergen wouldn't have one of the better stories of any entrepreneur to share with Denver Startup Week attendees Tuesday night when Ergen made a rare public appearance alongside Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Boulder venture capitalist Brad Feld.

Today there are close to 9,000 youth in the Denver metro area who are talented and motivated, but lack the opportunity and support to reconnect to school and work.

We've all faced challenges in our career - and always had someone to lend a hand. At the Denver Opportunity Youth Initiative we help young adults overcome those challenges. And we connect employers with these talented youth.
