AGC Continues to Fight Amendment 60/61/Prop 101
AGC Executive Director Michael Gifford presented arguments in opposition to Amendments 60/61/Prop 101 at a Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Corporation rally last week. He also attended the CFRR Campaign Finance Committee meeting to review fundraising progress. The campaign has raised $5.6 million towards the $6.5 million goal. The commercial construction and design industry has donated $611,000 with AGC members donating the majority of that amount ($310,000). The campaign has a new Tool Kit for employers at www.donthurtcolorado.org
AGC will issue an employer action plan next week to help firms communicate with their employees about the upcoming election and Amendment 60/61/Prop 101.
