It’s Valentine’s week, and what better way to celebrate the importance of relationships, communication and compromise than with a look into Colorado’s 2018 legislative session?
Let’s look at some early-session stats:
Update 2/9: The Senate passed a two-year spending bill that includes funding for community health centers and CHP+ before 2 a.m. Friday in a 71 to 28 vote. The House followed suit around 5:30 a.m., voting 240 to 186 in favor, and President Donald Trump signed the bill around 8:40 a.m.
Those were huge sighs of relief you heard across Colorado a couple weeks ago when Congress finally extended Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) funding for six years.
