The Sixty-sixth Legislative Day - March 16, 2007
We are past the half-way point of the First Regular Session of the Sixty-Sixth General Assembly. In the House we are working on bills that started in the Senate, and have a few new House bills as well. In the House we have passed legislation to energize our economy with renewable energy enhancements, “wind for Schools” and bringing biofuels to market. We have passed bills to conserve our precious Colorado resources by safeguarding our forest health, preserving water quality, and increasing the rainy day fund. We are working on bill to strengthen our schools and curb the costs of health care.
The 50th Legislative Day -- News Flash! - March 1, 2007
The bill that would ban smoking in casinos just passed in the House on a vote of 36-29.
This bill, HB 1269, has received quite a bit of media attention since I first introduced it in the House earlier this session. As chair of the Health and Human Services Committee, I feel strongly about this issue primarily as a health concern – most importantly, the health of casino workers, who must be subjected to an unhealthful work environment.
UPDATE: 31st Legislative Day - February 9, 2007
The 2007 legislative session began with a flurry of activity and shows no signs of slowing down.
Friday mornings we usually do “floor work,” the process of considering bills that survived out of various committees. This morning we considered about 15 bills on second reading.

As the New Year approaches (as well as the snow storm!), I have been working hard on legislative bills and health care issues for the 2007 Session. It is going to be a great, busy and productive session!
I also wanted to give you a few updates and reminders:
Dear HD 3 Democrats,
There have been many "thank-yous" and I wanted to add my own to each of you for your help in electing strong leadership for Colorado. It is your hard work and commitment that made it all possible.
