Small businesses in Colorado are getting a $17 million boost through two new capital access programs announced by Gov. John Hickenlooper, the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), and Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA).

LOUISVILLE, Colo. — Congress was under fire last year for its plan to make a slice of pizza a serving of vegetables at your child’s school cafeteria.

Now one Colorado lawmaker wants to make sure that isn’t the case and put pizza back in its place.

“Everyone really knows that pizza is not a fresh vegetable and, frankly, tomato is a fruit…so how crazy is the whole thing?” says Ann Cooper, the Boulder Valley Food Services Director.

Congress says the tomato paste on a slice of pizza is enough nutrition to consider it a service of vegetables.

“We’re introducing a bill—yes, it will take a law of the land to restore the common sense,
 says Congressman Jared Polis of Boulder.

Polis introduced the bill at Louisville Middle School Monday afternoon in hopes of getting the measure included in this year’s farm bill.
