Should Colorado Follow Oregon's Lead?

"The Colorado Legislature has given the citizens of this state a tremendous opportunity to determine what Colorado will look like in the future by not passing any legislation on growth or sprawl. By declining to act on growth, the legislators have cleared the way for initiatives on growth to be placed on the ballot in the 2002 election...We can follow the example of Oregon. In the late 1960s, the people of Oregon took responsibility for their state's future. They decided they didn't want to be Orange County North and passed a proposition that restricted growth to specific areas and ended a lot of the urban sprawl. There is no reason we in Colorado can't do the same thing."
