Our transportation infrastructure must meet the needs of Colorado’s growing population and bustling economy. I’ve worked closely, alongside my colleagues in the delegation, to emphasize to the Department of Transportation the importance of the I-25 Gap project for the people who rely on this section of the interstate as a key thoroughfare. These grant dollars will make Colorado better connected, benefiting our economy and our communities.

Buck, Polis, Garrett Introduce Resolution to Establish a Mandatory Review Period for All Legislation
Having only a few hours to read and digest huge bills is an absurd way to run a government.

That’s why the READ IT Resolution is so important.

Today, Congress passed a spending bill that disregards our duty to future generations, adding billions more to the debt, failing once again to seriously tackle our nation’s deficit. I voted against this legislation because I believe both parties need to come together and find ways to limit spending on both the domestic and defense side of the ledger. Until we do this, the prosperity of our generation and future generations will be anchored to our ballooning deficit.

I applaud Evan and Hunter for investing their time and effort in this creative app idea.
