DENVER — The Colorado legislative session is heading into its final weekend as state lawmakers work to get through around 200 bills still left up for debate.
"It is going to be really busy, but it always is, right, because we're trying to, you know, kind of finish up everything that we have left to do," said Monica Duran, D-Jefferson County, the Majority Leader for the House Representatives."The goal is to get our most important things done." A controversial land use bill introduced by Governor Polis — aimed at combating the state's housing crisis — has opponents speaking against it in the name of local control. It is a big piece of legislation this session, as it targets affordable housing in Colorado in a number of ways.
"The land use bill, in essence, is the state surpassing the local control local governments. They're planning their water, they're building their housing. And it's under the guise of saying, 'Hey, we need to have more affordable housing.' Well, throughout history, every state to include Colorado, local governments, local planning boards, local town councils, make those decisions, because that's what impacts the people that live in that community.
Hartsook added he wished there was more time to discuss these topics that will have a big effect on local communities.
