My wife and I certainly did, but now that we have children, our priorities have expanded. I want to make sure Colorado is remains a vital community, a place where my kids and grandkids will want to live and pursue their dreams. Moreover, the reliance on in-migration of skilled workers is really only part of my (and Mr. Clark’s) concern. If we don’t create opportunities for the young people of this state, will they be meaningful contributors to, or a drain on, our state’s economy?Jim Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04733540973925859090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190674671668441779.post-61195282170842919552009-11-22T18:49:26.137-07:002009-11-22T18:49:26.137-07:00I&#39;ve lived in Denver for 30 years and I&#39;ve never heard anyone say, &quot;We moved here for the schools.&quot;<br /><br />And states do not export humans; wondering whether we can rely on states to do so is absurd, Mr. Clark. <br /><br />People move here because they like the mountains, skiing, trout fishing, etc.The Barking Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01080937315323189497noreply@blogger.com
