GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- Sen. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, has received the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce's highest ranking on its 2012 legislative scorecard.

The scorecard ranks each legislative member based on their support for business friendly legislation.

At 94 percent, Sen. King scored the highest among Colorado lawmakers.

"Every opportunity I had to vote in favor of business and decreasing regulation, decreasing that overreach of government being in everybody's business, every opportunity I had to vote in favor of that type of decrease I always voted yes," said King.

King also said although there were steps taken toward removing regulations on businesses, there is still more work that needs to be done.

Good job reduce taxes and regulation on business that put us here in the first place. You were elected to help all citizens not just your law agency friends and businessmen. What about the seniors that lost their exemption to business? What about the unemployed that lost their homes. What about schools loosing class time and resources, while you help the capitalists that don't make enough profit.
