Hickenlooper would retain Ritter order on state employee partnerships

Denver Mayor and candidate for governor John Hickenlooper plans to retain Gov. Bill Ritter's executive order authorizing state-employee partnerships, or lesser-grade labor unions, at least for now, his campaign told the Colorado independent Wednesday. "We believe it makes sense to leave the order in place and to ensure that it is followed while it is evaluated," George Merritt, spokesperson for the campaign said.
