Statement from President Joe Biden on Florida Supreme Court Decision: “Yesterday’s extreme decision puts desperately needed medical care even further out of reach for millions of women in Florida and across the South. The Court not only upheld Florida’s current ban on women being able to make their own reproductive choices, it will likely trigger Governor DeSantis’ even more extreme law that would prevent women from accessing care before many even know they are pregnant. It is outrageous.”
Colorado Governor
Governor Polis and the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) celebrated the launch of the nation’s first statewide electric bicycle tax credit. Colorado residents are now eligible to save up to $450 off their e-bike purchase, meaning less traffic and less pollution for Coloradans. The e-bike tax credit reflects Colorado’s bold climate goals while promoting sustainable communities for future generations. “This e-bike tax credit builds Colorado’s nation-leading work to reduce pollution and traffic, save people money and protect our environment. This will help Colorado reach our bold climate goals, invest in future generations, and expand access to clean transportation options now,” said Governor Jared Polis.
Denver Mayor
Denver’s wage protections are some of the strongest and most effective in the United States, and Denver Labor’s results for the recently published 2023 reporting period show the benefits to the whole community. “Through enforcement and education, we help workers of all income levels receive the wages they earned according to law,” Denver Auditor Timothy M. O’Brien, CPA, said. “We also help ensure a level playing field for Denver’s vibrant business community.” In 2023, Denver Labor set new records for restitution, productivity, and community engage- ment. Our office recovered more than $2 million for 3,570 workers. We audited about 96,000 payroll records, attended more than 45 community events, updated internal policies and procedures, and conducted extensive rulemaking to implement and clarify the Civil Wage Theft Ordinance.
