DENVER — Friday, Feb. 15, 2019 — Gov. Jared Polis today issued the following statement in regard to President Trump’s decision to bypass lawmakers and build a wall:
“President Donald Trump’s plan to circumvent Congress and declare a state of emergency for his personal vanity project is an astonishing abuse of power. This is not only a waste of taxpayer dollars but a distraction from the many real issues that affect hardworking Coloradans.
While the president tries to separate us— Coloradans, and my administration, will continue to unite by building a Colorado for all.”
