The 2012 legislative session wraps up next Wednesday, May 9th. While activity under the gold dome is fluid this will be the last session for several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

More initiatives have been cleared for possible inclusion on the November election ballot. Supporters still must collect the more than 86-thousand valid signatures needed to get their proposals in front of Colorado voters.

State lawmakers are entering the home stretch of the 2012 legislative session. With just over a month to go work begins this week on the state budget. And for the first time in years, there’s actually money in the coffers to work with which means less budget cuts.

Today is “Super Tuesday”. Ten states are holding GOP caucuses. It’s also caucus day for Colorado Democrats. With no one contesting President Obama, state party leaders are urging their base not to sit this one out. They even held a rally at the state capitol on Monday to get the word out.
