Colorado Legislature Near Breakthrough On Land Use And Aid
Colorado's logjam on land use legislation and state aid to schools shows signs of breaking as private talks move forward. A major question remains whether to reserve federal revenue sharing funds or budget them, with compromise possible. The Long Appropriations Bill advances slowly as hearings loom for most measures. The Senate quick approves a deceptive trade practices bill and considers higher hospital use, no fault auto insurance, and mobile home taxation reforms, with no urgent adjournment in sight. The House calendars mirror the cautious pace, aiming for a June windup, possibly mid May per leadership.
