Optimism, Regulation & Colorado’s Political Crossroads

The Jeff And Bill! Show!!! Jan 30, 2026 - HR 4

Broadcasting live from the South Metro Denver Chamber’s 2026 Economic Forecast Breakfast, The Jeff and Bill Show wraps up the day with a wide-ranging conversation on business optimism, government regulation, and Colorado’s political direction.

Jeff and Bill highlight why Douglas County continues to outperform much of the state, even as business leaders warn that overregulation, rising costs, and legislative uncertainty threaten long-term growth. Chamber leadership explains how behind-the-scenes lobbying and policy work help blunt the impact of bad bills coming out of the Capitol.

The hour also tackles education costs, unionization efforts at the University of Colorado, state budget pressures, and whether lawmakers are making life easier—or harder—for Colorado families and employers. Optimism is real, but so are the challenges.
