Northern Colorado Legislative Alliance
The Colorado Legislative Session is officially at the half-way point of its 120-day session. Last week, NCLA hosted its 2012 Mid-Session Legislative Event at the Crossroads Inn in Loveland. A large crowd heard from the NCLA on its progress thus far and heard reports from northern Colorado legislators Rep. Brian DelGrosso (R-Loveland), Rep. John Kefalas (D-Fort Collins), Senator Kevin Lundberg (R-Berthoud), Senator Scott Renfroe (R-Greeley), Rep. Glenn Vaad (R-Mead) and Rep. Dave Young (R-Greeley).
Meanwhile, legislative proposals are still being introduced. This week's Under the Dome provides insight into a newly introduced proposal to provide "Sunshine in Litigation".
To see a full report of legislation pending in which the NCLA is engaged, see our 2012 NCLA Legislative Tracking Report.
