Jason Bane, Candidate for Jefferson County, Colorado Commissioner

Question: Why are you running for County Commissioner? Answer: The main reason I am running is to put an end to the corruption that has plagued this county for years. My opponent, Kevin McCaskey joined with Jim Congrove last year and they used taxpayer money to hire a private investigator to follow around Jefferson County citizens who were critical of the government. An Adams county District Attorney nearly indicted them - I tell people these stories and they can't believe me but they all have been reported in the Newspaper. Question: What is your vision for economic development in Jefferson County? Answer: We have the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, the School of the Mines, we have a Governor, Governor Ritter who is very pro-renewable energy. There is no reason that Jefferson County shouldn't be the epicenter of the renewable energy industry in this country. We've got the expertise, the resources, you could bring your company here to Jefferson County and have experts to real experts at NREL and the School of Mines and that is something that I am going to do if elected is to bring these companies here and bring these good jobs and that fits into the theme of responsible growth that preserves open space and growing this county with good jobs give back to the community and give back to the Earth with these renewable energy companies. Now that sounds like real leadership for Jefferson County, for our state, and for our nation. It is time that this part of the country, the place that has been the long neglected area of focus in our country - Renewable Energy, have new leadership, that is not Republican and is looking forward to a new era of Energy solutions.
