Colorado Inside Out - Feb. 16, 2007

The first clip from the 2/16/07 show is analysis of the Amendment 41 battle in the Colorado Legislature. It centers around the fact that members of the State House are working on a large bill that implement and clarify the law. Leaders in the Colorado Senate are proposing to implement Am. 41 as is, without any clarification. Meanwhile, state senators are attempting to blame all of the problems with Amenedment 41 on its key supporter, Jared Polis, who will likley run against current Sentate President, Joan Fitz-Gerald for the Democratic nomination of the second congressional seat.

The second clip examines Governor Ritter's first veto, HB 1072 which would have modified Colorado's Labor Peace Act. The veto was a major surprise because Ritter said he agreed with the bill in principle, but not in the way it was argued and presented.
