Rep. McGihon Quotations

The governor apparently can't see the forest for the trees, perhaps because of the smog. Children, especially, are hurt by this thoughtless veto, as asthma rates continue to rise across our state.

It is incredibly important, in conjunction with making ID theft a crime in Colorado, that we give our prosecutors the resources they need to prosecute these cases. I think the fact that the banking community has stepped up to the plate to help provide these resources is fabulous.

Rep. Cadman thinks there's a property right to blow smoke into a casino worker's lungs.

This is a states' rights and children's rights health issue. Clean air and a vibrant economy go hand in hand. It means Colorado has the right to do what is best for our own citizens and the tourism industry that is so dependent on a clean environment. This bill protects us from the very real costs of air pollution - lost tourism, children with asthma and children with learning disabilities caused by mercury poisoning.
