From The Denver Business Journal: The Colorado legislative session that was supposed to be all about jobs and the economy reaches its halfway point today with few bills dealing with jobs and the economy having made much progress. A raft of Republican bills to reduce the business personal property tax or reverse sales tax exemptions have died in the Democratic-controlled Senate. And a number of Democratic bills to require procurement from local companies or enhance the state’s aid to small, developing companies have died in the Republican-controlled House.
