It’s hard not to get hooked on these Senate Republican YouTube videos, and Tuesday’s group has another one you need to see. Tim and Patrick Neville, the father and son legislators, do some moderate to bad acting to make the Republican pitch on curbing regulations.

“Look, Dad, you’re not the boss of me anymore, OK,” barks House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, pointing an index finger at state Sen. Tim Neville.

“Besides, there are 77,000 pages of regulations.”

Cue the sad trombone.

Pop Neville mugs, “Are you saying we need an opportunity for some regulatory relief? Businesses are struggling?”

“I am,” the young Neville said, lurching forward like he’s grabbing the last biscuit.

And then you get the sales pitch.

“That’s why we’re partnering together for the Regulatory Relief Act of 2017.”

The Neville’s are sponsoring Senate Bill 1, which would give small businesses – defined as one with fewer than 500 people – a month to fix a minor first-time offense or request more time.

“It’s about time we give businesses a break,” said Sen. Neville.

Republicans have tried and failed to pass the bill before, but Democrats in the House always get in the way. This session will likely be no different. But it’s a message bill that reminds voters of what the party is up to in the Capitol. A funny video helps spread the message, if you’re listening, legislative Democrats. (A brewpub owner in LoDo rode a motor scooter into the Denver mayor’s office and Colorado history in 2003.)

The Neville bill is up before the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee Wednesday at 2 p.m.

The Colorado AFL-CIO held a press conference at the Capitol Tuesday to lay out its legislative agenda. The labor organization that claims 130,000 Colorado members was skeptical of Senate Bill 1.

Kjersten Forseth, its political and legislative director, said the bill isn’t unique to Colorado and is based on Republican ideology on business and regulation. She said the threshold of 500 employees far exceeds what most people think of as a small business.

“In Colorado we all understand who small business owners are,” she said, naming locally owned restaurants near the Capitol. “Those are who we think of as small business owners here in Colorado.”

She said labor doesn’t oppose helping small businesses navigate regulations but allowing larger businesses to know they have a “get out of jail free card” is not good policy.

She said the union hopes to support the bill if it can be amended to help small businesses without lumping in larger ones.

“We want to make sure workers are protected, that we have health and safety protections that provide clean air, clean water, and have wages and jobs that correspond,” Forseth said.
