Colorado Strikes Back Against Christie Pot Slam
So maybe Gov. Chris Christie shouldn’t have slammed legalized pot in Colorado by saying “it’s just not the quality of life we want to have.” That made Coloradoans mad.
Including their governor, it turns out. John Hickenlooper’s office responded with a list of comparative state rankings on quality-of-life issues:
America’s Top States for Business
# 7 Colorado
#42 New JerseyThe Best State for Business and Careers
#5 Colorado
#32 New JerseyIs your state creating jobs and economic growth?
#14 in economic performance, Colorado
#33 in economic performance, New Jersey
#2 for innovation and entrepreneurship, Colorado
#14 for innovation and entrepreneurship, New Jersey
#8 for business climate, Colorado
#49 for business climate, New JerseyThe States of Our Union … Are Not All Strong / We ranked all 50, from fabulous to failed.
#7 Colorado
#12 New JerseyFind Out How Your Community Measures Up / State ranks
#7 Colorado
#23 New JerseyTop State Technology and Science
#4 Colorado
#15 New Jersey”
“A lot of people think Colorado is great place to live, work and play,” Hickenlooper’s office said. We’re sure Chris Christie will refrain from inflammatory comments in the future. (ABC 7)
