Colorado Inside Out - March 16, 2007

2007-03-16T19:33:00.000-07:00

On this episode of CIO, the panel discusses the Colorado state resolution that added John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" as a second state song. This discussion continues regarding another resolution, one that states Colorado's support for U.S. troops, but against the proposed trrop build up in Iraq. The proposal is modeled after other proposals currently being debated in other state legislatures. The third topic of the program discusses yet another compromise on Amendment 41. This proposal would put the ultimate decision back to the voters in 2008. And, as with every episode, the last segment is the easiest and hardest part of the show, name your Disgrace of the Week and then Say Something Nice About Somebody.

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.
