Health and Hydrocarbons with Bob Boswell of Laramie Energy

This month’s Health and Hydrocarbon episode is made possible through the support of Laramie Energy and Caerus Oil and Gas. Thank you for your support and sponsorship.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has been a stark reminder to the world that fossil fuels are at the center of every nation’s energy needs. Last year oil prices were negative. This year prices have skyrocketed. Yet Democrats and the Biden administration continue to push the discredited narrative that alternative energy is a replacement for fossil fuels. It is not. And the only alternative to being at the mercy of another nation’s oil and gas supply is to secure energy independence through domestic sources. The United States and Colorado are both fortunate in that regard, yet progressive forces seek to prevent access.

In this month’s episode of Health and Hydrocarbons, Bob Boswell, CEO of Laramie Energy, discusses the geo-political factors impacting energy prices and concerted efforts of progressives to keep Americans from energy dependence and access to affordable, reliable energy.

Bill of the Day HB22-1305, Paid Family Medical Leave Premium Reduction

Bill Summary:

The bill reduces the premium paid by employers for the state’s paid family and medical leave program, starting January 1, 2023, through June 30, 2023, from nine-tenths of 1% of wages per employee to eighty-one hundredths of 1% of wages per employee.

The bill requires the state treasurer to transfer $57.5 million from the general fund to the family and medical leave insurance fund.

HB22-1305, Paid Family Medical Leave Premium Reduction is sponsored by Democrat Representatives Yadira Caraveoi and Matt Gray. The bill seems to on one hand acknowledge the burden FAMLI puts on employers, especially small businesses…yet on the other, not to take it seriously, as the term is only one year.
