Senator Shawn Mitchell speaks out against policy that will increase energy cost.

Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, explains why House Bill 1001 will unfairly increase energy costs on Coloradans. Mitchell notes this is just another example of government over stepping its bounds.

"I don't want a European society where government will decide what life will look like tomorrow," said Mitchell. "I want a free American traditional society where my choices, your choices--as consumers, as families, as citizens--will determine what society will look like tomorrow."

House Bill 1001, sponsored by Sens. Bruce Whitehead, D-Hasperus, and Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass, was passed today on a party-line vote.
