Denver (KDVR) – The watch is in Colorado Capitol, where the state lawmakers are looking to close the ends of the loose before the regular session ended on Wednesday. Before they leave, they try to make sure some respondents get to get some financing.
The state lawmakers are moving forward with two measures they have been working to finance them since the beginning of the session.
The Senator Lisa Kitter, the state, said that the legislators who were established had managed to reach a compromise on a invoice It was initially to help strengthen the state’s workforce in the state, amid uncertainty surrounding discounts from the federal government and the loss of revenue for areas that follow the reform of property tax at the state level last year.
“When we knew that this other draft law would not do it, we were able to include and include this. We wanted to do some other things, completely frankly, this year to address financing. The institution and some other things have been kicked, and we did not really benefit from the fruits. We will not verify this.
The median solution will eventually allow firefighters to apply for interest -free loan loans from the state’s treasurer office. The financing of $ 50 million will be available to the areas you apply for. Legislators had to find some law enforcement funding.
“The suggestion was 130 in the polling last year, and it passed. Basically, it was 350 million dollars for employment, training and retaining local law enforcement employees. It was part of it. Another part of that was useful for death of one million dollars if someone was killed in the duty line, which we thought was a large part of his pass,” said Michael Fields of Colorado.
Legislators will not allocate that $ 350 million at one time. Instead, the state will make about 35 million dollars annually over 10 years invoice This makes the suggestion that was passed.
“This draft implementation law takes a long time. It may take 10 years to go out. But voters voted in his favor, and legislators come and implement a policy to ensure that it comes out of the door. I know that there are complaints not only in this year’s budget, but future budgets are coming.
Each of these two projects still needs to complete the legislative process by next Wednesday in order to reach the ruler’s office. Long -hour lawmakers will work to complete everything.
