## Resource

Colorado’s business reputation just took a major nosedive, plummeting 14 spots to 25 in CNBC’s annual rankings—the biggest drop ever. With failing grades in infrastructure, economy, and business friendliness, soaring housing and insurance costs, and a surge in regulations, the state is losing its appeal. Executives are sounding the alarm, major companies are fleeing or pulling back, and data confirms the slide: crumbling roads, slower economic growth than peers, and a brain drain. It’s a wake-up call for leaders to rethink policies if they want to keep Colorado competitive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
