Over the weeks, Swing Vote magazine has been taking a comprehensive look at the impact of the Recovery Act funding arriving in Colorado from the perspective of local business owners.
Perhaps no other industry has been hit much harder by the economy than the auto industry. This week, we hear from three expert people with years of experience in the auto dealer business. Tim Jackson is the President of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA); David Fitzgerald is the owner of Northglenn Dodge (NGD) and received the devastating notification from his corporate brand that his dealership was going to be closed; and Mike Tynan of Tynan Nissan is part of an extensive longtime family auto business.
We thank these three men for graciously sharing their thoughts on the situation with Swing Vote. Shown below are the videos from our informative visit with Tim Jackson, David Fitzgerald, and Mike Tynan.
