In an interview Tuesday with Complete Colorado Van Herke said small business in Colorado has been disproportionately and unnecessarily discriminated against by the government.

“I felt like it was important to for somebody to stand up along with other businesses and say we’re not going to be discounted in this and we’re not going to sit back and watch our life’s work destroyed while many of the people making decisions are still being paid their full time salary while they’re sitting at home,” said Van Herke.
