No One Just Looks!

Why do stores have clearance sales? To help get some of their money back when an item doesn't sell in a profitable timeframe. Clearance or closeout permanently removes merchandise. Inventory clearance is a fresh start that makes way for new product in your store. But slow-moving inventory can point to bigger problems.

New Oil And Gas Regulations

Colorado oil and gas producers along much of the Front Range must cut nitrogen oxides 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2030 under a new directive from Gov. Jared Polis - changes that industry leaders described as achievable but requiring new investment levels and technology.

New Regulations

Legislative Committee Eyes Utility Costs

A special legislative committee probing rising utility costs questioned several long-standing aspects of Colorado’s rate-setting model Tuesday, including whether for-profit utilities like Xcel Energy should be allowed to make as large a return on investments as they do now. Democratic members of the Joint Select Committee on Rising Utility Rates, particularly Senate President Steve Fenberg and House President Pro Tempore Chris deGruy Kennedy, also asked whether customers should have to foot the bills for costs ranging from new investments in natural-gas infrastructure to legal fees paid by utilities to experts who help justify rate hikes. The second meeting of the committee, which was the first in which members heard from leaders of Xcel and Black Hills Energy, turned in some sense into a discussion about the very model of granting monopolies to utilities to serve designated areas of the state.Xcel and Black Hills leaders pushed back, arguing that without being able to show a return on their equity, which for Xcel was 8.23% in 2021, they would struggle to attract the investors that allow them to operate safely and efficiently and allow them to improve infrastructure.

Governor Focuses On Pharmacy Manager Benefits

Gov. Jared Polis’ focus on bringing down pharmaceutical prices has spawned an effort to limit what pharmacy benefit managers can charge to business customers - an effort that is dividing business groups and legislators over whether it will be helpful or intrusive to employers. .................................................

Concerned About Banking?

Last week Silicon Valley Bank was closed by California state banking regulators, and on Sunday, New York officials did the same to Signature Bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was appointed as the receiver of both banks.These actions stabilized the banking system and ensured the public’s confidence in it. This weekend’s actions resolved the liquidity crisis. Bank depositors needed certainty that they would be able to access their cash allowing their businesses to continue operating. We put together this FAQ to help you better understand the situation and how you can protect your business.

Inflation Slowly Declining

The Consumer Price Index, the broadest measure of consumer prices, rose 6% annually in February. That is down from the peak of 9.1% in June 2022, but still very high. Inflation rose 0.4% from January to February.‌ This is a strong signal that we are not through with inflation yet. Monthly data had been falling rapidly before the last few months. Housing was the biggest driver in February. Prices for recreation, household furnishings and operations, and airline fares also rose...........................Inflation

COVID Vaccines Still Effective

It's been three years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Here’s a reminder that FDA-approved COVID vaccines are safe and effective. These vaccines have helped ensure the American workforce stays healthy and the economy remains open. COVID-19 vaccines remain the unsung heroes of an open and working economy. Workers who take the vaccines are less likely to die or be hospitalized after catching COVID.

Mixed Messaging Continues  

The Biden administration recently approved the Willow oil project in Alaska but also announced drilling bans in other areas of the Arctic. Mixed signals from the Biden administration have discouraged long-term investments in America’s energy security.U.S. oil and gas produce fewer emissions than that produced in other nations. It also acts as a check on those who seek to weaponize energy. Marty Durbin, President of the Chamber’s Global Energy Institute, notes, “[P]lacing these new restrictions on oil and natural gas development is not sound policy. Oil and natural gas produced in Alaska and the Arctic will produce fewer emissions than production abroad, and forcing production overseas to compensate is bad for the economy and for our security.”
