Rep. McGihon Asthma 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.

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.
