Colorado Dems: Sue Businesses for COVID Spread
1 min readColorado Democrats on the State Senate Finance Committee voted to allow Colorado small businesses to be sued by customers who believe they have contracted the novel coronavirus while interacting with the business. They voted 4-3 on Monday to shelve a bill and not allow it out of the Senate Finance Committee.
The Colorado Restaurant Association testified to the damage lawsuits could do to an already devastated industry, where 25% of businesses believe they will be driven out of business within three months.
The Democrats who voted against restricting suing businesses:
State Senator Julie Gonzales, District 34 (Denver)
State Senator Chris Hansen, District 31 (Arapahoe, Denver)
State Senator Dominick Moreno, District 21 (Adams)
State Senator Jeff Bridges, District 26 (Arapahoe)
These Democrats only say they support small businesses, but they are perfectly okay with ambulance-chasing lawyers blaming businesses for COVID-19 spread and suing what is left of Colorado small businesses out of existence.
