HOST KEN CLARK:

  • What are the boundaries of House district 33?

CANDIDATE FOR COLORADO HOUSE DISTRICT 33, MARIJO TINLIN:

  • All of Broomfield,
  • Superior
  • And the Boulder county side of Erie

CLARK:

  • As of last Friday, you have no Primary opponent

TINLIN:

  • We’re going to take on the incumbent Diane Primavera,
  • And we’re going to win this time

CLARK:

  • Yeah, Diane Primavera really, really, really needs to be sent home
  • What’s your platform

TINLIN:

  • We have to get gov. out of our lives
  • Last two assembly session we’ve been told
    • What we do in our bathrooms
    • What we do in our kitchens
    • All over our lives
    • Between us and our doctors
    • Enough!

CLARK:

  • That’s necessary.  Stuff I hear down at the capitol… leaves you scratching your head.  Where are these people coming from

TINLIN:

  • Yeah, they’re just passing laws for the sake of passing laws
  • Not doing what they intend
  • I want to eliminate laws
    • Streamline
    • Let’s be more efficient for what we do have
    • Return freedoms
      • For parents in the education of their kids
      • For small biz to do their biz, and not constrained by regulations and taxes
      • CO Business personal property tax
    • Making biz so hard to do in CO
    • And suppressing companies form wanting to come to CO
    • Let’s get rid of those onerous laws, next session
    • and Making CO better place to live

CLARK:

  • inventory tax and Business personal property tax, are crippling.  They don’t have those in WY.  And they have all the infrastructure any biz could ever want.  If we want to attract businesses here, we have to get out of their way

TINLIN:

  • Yeah
  • Look at all the companies decide to incorporate in WY
    • It’s so easy!
    • Why not?
    • Why can’t CO be that state
      • Beautiful place to live
      • Amazing place to raise your kids
    • Lots of businesses skip us and go to texas – we make it a bad place to come
      • Used to come here from CA
      • But why would they come here now?

CLARK:

  • Our legislature needs to make the environment attractive for all businesses.  But our leg likes to pick and choose.  They like aviation, hotels, and they do TIF financing… all this garbage. And they do it on a business by business basis, instead of lowering the bar – lowering the barriers and making a level playing field for everyone

TINLIN:

  • That’s right
  • Getting ready for assembly, I talked to a lot of delegates who are biz owners
    • Businesses can’t expand their business.
    • Every year they have to re-strategize and think about new taxes
    • Strangling businesses
    • And that strangles the job market
    • And that hurts families… top to bottom
    • Not a friendly place to do business

CLARK:

  • Sad we have to worry about that in CO… and then with the mountains of regulations   — they’re trying to vaccinate by force… fortunately they gutted a part of that bill today.  But protectionist bills – licensing medical equipment manufacturers, you can’t sell in Colorado

TINLIN:

  • Right wow
  • What’s the true intention of that?
  • Think about 175 that they killed last week – truly a political bill
    • An election talking point
    • And they had to kill their own bill because it was so broad
    • Those are the kinds of things, why are we spending taxpayer dollars on those political talking point bills instead of things that really might help

CLARK:

  • Pat Stryker?  Because her brother has medical manufacturing company. Maybe they’re not even based in CO anymore.  But someone decided they needed that kind of protectionism here, and the Dem legislators float a law to protect your business.  And they’ll convince someone to sponsor and Dems go lockstep to pass it.

TINLIN:

  • Feather in the cap for DP: Hick has vetoed 2 bill in his entire term and hers was one of them
  • HB1108 – regulating fees for pt and certain licensed practioners.

CLARK:

  • Diane Primavera, she owns the 2013 session… including the voter fraud bill, the sex-ed bills, Common Core, gun grabbing

TINLIN:

  • That’s right
  • That’s what I want to get out to voters
  • Evenly divided district between R and D with 40% unaffiliateds
  • If you don’t want these freedoms taken from you, vote for me.
  • Also Democrats

CLARK:

  • Recalls are a prime example of that.  Morse, Giron, Hudak  Happened because of overreach of government.  Started with gun grabbing.  But then voters decided that overreach was strangling them.
  • Primary with Pigott

TINLIN:

  • In assembly, I got top line
  • He dropped out, so as to unite, and support each other
  • He endorsed me
  • And we won’t have to split resources

CLARK:

  • Classy move on Pigott’s part.  Not easy for someone to do that.

TINLIN:

  • Very gracious
  • Excellent future in politics in CO

CLARK:

  • If you win the primary and you take on radical Diane Primavera.  Even our do-nothing, non-committal governor (won’t get behind red light cameras, that as wide bipartisan support) won’t sign one of Diane Primavera’s bill.  What bills would you run?

TINLIN:

  • I want freedoms opened up
  • Education
    • I want Common Core to go away
    • Bipartisan Mom’s bill – got killed, I was said
    • I’d like to bring that Mom’s bill back up
    • Many states want to slow down on Common Core
      • For parents to know
      • For teachers
      • Not for a central planning agenda
      • We create a workforce around that standardized education
        • Creates a downstream effect

CLARK:

  • Education is getting out there.  Moms were from all backgrounds, and the Dems shut them down, including their own constituents.

TINLIN:

  • During long bill, Marble tried to de fund it… she kept trying
  • I would support anything that we could do to take a second look at
    • Standardizing education
    • Eliminating freedom in education
      • For parents
      • For teachers
      • For students

CLARK:

  • Brilliant move of Marble to get all members of Senate (Dems) to vote on defunding Common core by forcing an amendment.  She needs people like you down there helping her out

TINLIN:

  • Again, opening up biz environment === open up opportunities
  • CO business property tax
  • Rules and regs
    • 1 out of 3 jobs in this state requires some kind of license and certification or registration
    • Seems like a huge barrier to people
    • So many things hinder people

CLARK:

  • A friend who owns a business in an industrial area… he built a building, but can’t get a certificate of occupancy because of a dead bush… oh yeah!

TINLIN:

  • Wow
  • I heard one of the candidates for governor speak yesterday
    • We’ve gone from 2nd  or 4th  in terms of economic freedom and opportunity
    • Now we’re 22th
    • In four short years.
    • That’s telling
    • We really are closing the door on opportunity in this state

CLARK:

  • WE are in a nose dive, spiraling downward, because of Diane Primavera — extreme agenda… forcing crap upon biz.  We can’t grow.  We can’t do anything
  • What else?

TINLIN:

  • Massive Government overreach
    • What fixtures we can use in the bathroom
    • They can tell us what things we have in our kitchen
    • Our freedoms!
    • It’s the principle of individual freedoms
      • Every year we lose more and more and more of those
    • Bellweather for a bill
      • Does it create more freedom
      • Does it take freedom away

CLARK:

  • As far as CO is concerned, what is the proper role of government for the state of CO

TINLIN:

  • At a very fundamental level, ensure that people’s freedoms don’t infringe on one anther
  • Pubic safety
    • Police
    • Fire
    • Transporation
      • Road
    • Just a handful of things
    • Ensure resources and property rights
      • Looking at Nevada
      • Wyoming
      • And even with the EPA in our own state
    • I want to help preserve is fundamental freedom for Coloradoans

CLARK:

  • I testified yesterday on a resolution sponsored by Saine calling for convention of states for proposing amendments to the Constitution.  Amazing to watch, because this is a mechanism in the Constitution to rein in and constrain tyrannical federal government.  While testifying. It was interesting to see that state reps didn’t understand that their responsibility is to rein in the federal government and they voted against it!

TINLIN:

  • I have looked at Article V
  • This is our last Pass at trying to do anything
  • Federal Government has gotten so big that it’s out of control
  • What left for us to do?
    • Except by a convention of states
    • I absolutely think that would be a great thing to pass
    • How many states have ratified?

CLARK:

  • Well, different states have adopted different pieces of it… how many will aggregate into one group.  Maybe 18
