Tancredo, Hickenlooper and Maes debate unions and business

The three main gubernatorial candidates got down to business Thursday at a debate sponsored by the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry.

The debate focused on business issues and started with American Constitution Party candidate Tom Tancredo slamming Democrat John Hickenlooper for increasing fees and taxes as Denver mayor. Tancredo said the key to getting a state out of a recession is cutting taxes and not raising fees, and positioned Hickenlooper as an anti-business candidate who would do the opposite of what is needed if elected governor. Tancredo struck at Hickenlooper's credibility, telling the crowd that Ritter had also promised to be friendly to businesses.    – More -
