Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and former Republican presidential rival Vivek Ramaswamy to head up a new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) aimed at drastically cutting back the size of the U.S. Government. The department – which won’t be an official government agency – will be shortened to DOGE, a reference to Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency Dogecoin. In a statement on Tuesday (Nov, 12) President-Elect Trump said the pair “will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.” The appointment of the world’s richest man to the advisory role fulfills earlier promises Trump made to Musk.

Gov. Jared Polis wants to privatize Pinnacol, the state’s workers’ comp carrier. Will the third try be the charm?
Denver Post, Thursday - 01/02/2025 - 08:00 AM
Facing a massive budget deficit and a workforce that is decreasingly bound by state lines, Gov. Jared Polis has pitched a solution that’s been raised twice in recent memory at the Colorado Capitol: spinning off the state’s stake in Pinnacol Assurance. Privatizing the quasi-governmental insurance company would mean pulling the state out of the workers’ compensation game, while raising serious one-time money to help plug the budget — an idea that Polis hasn’t yet sold lawmakers on. Pinnacol serves as the workers’ compensation insurer of last resort for the state, ensuring that high-risk industries, such as roofing, can meet the legal requirement for coverage.
