Speaker KC Becker Sees A Slower Session Since ‘Election Years Are Tougher Years’
Colorado lawmakers return to the state Capitol Wednesday but the breakneck pace at which they adopted a Democratic agenda last year may slow, according to a leading Democrat.
Democrats maintain the ‘trifecta’ — control of both legislative houses and the governor’s office — that led last year to the adoption of full-day kindergarten, health care reforms and an overhaul of oil and gas regulations.
But Democratic House Speaker K.C. Becker of Boulder says many of those issues had been debated, and negotiated for years. In 2020 lawmakers wil consider newer proposals and return to debates over ideas where Democrats are divided, like the death penalty and paid family leave.
“We’re not trying to match last year, we just want to pass good policy’’ Becker said.
Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner spoke with Becker.

At his home in Denver’s City Park, Faircloth started looking around on Craigslist for Within days he and his daughter Luna, then 6, started a GoFundMe account, bought a vehicle for $2,500, packed it up, drove it to California and donated it to a man left homeless by the fire.
