2025-2026 #55 Authorize State Bonds for Refinery Buyout.

Shall state debt be increased by $100,000,000, without raising taxes or fees, and used to fund 1. a just purchase of Canada’s Suncor Energy Inc. owned Refinery, 2. operation/repairs of the Refinery, 3. compensation to nearby residents, and 4. a solar energy farm which will provide jobs?

Justification:

Let’s use the profits to help Colorado instead of Canada’s Oil Company.

Suncor bought the refinery for $45 million.

Suncor continues to be fined for excess pollution.

Suncor dumped excess cyanide in Sand Creek 3/2025.

Commerce City refinery makes $500 million/year.
