As I write this there is a young lady at the downtown Greeley Safeway collecting signatures for a petition to sell regular beer in grocery stores. She was in a Safeway uniform, so I can only assume that the Safeway corporation is paying it’s employees to collect signatures to pass laws that favor them in the State of Colorado.

If there are changes made to the petition laws in this State as has been much discussed, I think this should be one of them. I like the petition system, but I don’t think out of state corporations should be able to pay employees to collect the signatures. I hope this effort fails, and I may have to go shop and another store for a while.
