Monitoring Colorado’s Growing Regulatory Burden

Share
Colorado’s free enterprise economic system is built upon a combination of federal, state and local laws. While federal policy can play a large role across certain industries, state policy plays a critical role in both accounting for regional differences and determining a state’s relative economic competitiveness.

CSI’S MISSION

CSI’s mission is to examine the fiscal impacts of policies, initiatives, and proposed laws so that Coloradans are educated and informed on issues impacting their lives. Common Sense Institute was founded in 2010 originally as Common Sense Policy Roundtable. CSI’s founders were a concerned group of business and community leaders who observed that divisive partisanship was overwhelming policymaking and believed that sound economic analysis could help Coloradans make fact-based and common sense decisions.
