Polis Says We're 'Better Together' in Second State of the State

Gov. Jared Polis delivered his second State of the State address as governor Thursday, speaking of those left behind by Colorado's stampeding economy. "From student loans to health care costs to unaffordable housing, Coloradans feel like they are running faster and faster, but not getting ahead," Polis said in his speech. "Too many of our fellow Coloradans are anxious that one hardship - a job loss, a medical emergency, a recession, a natural disaster, or some other unforeseen challenge - will send them into a financial tailspin. There is a generation of older Americans who wonder when or even if they will be able to retire with dignity."

Op-Ed: We Need Foreign Students to Keep "America First"

Twenty-three years ago, as a college graduate in Delhi, I lined up at the U.S. embassy hoping to have my student visa approved. That visa changed my life forever. I'd enrolled in a computer science master's program at the University of Denver, thinking that an American education coupled with post-graduate work experience in the states would prepare me for a career back home. But I never left. As it turned out, that package deal - study and work - allowed me to become a CTO and serial entrepreneur in the U.S., creating hundreds of jobs for Americans.
