Colorado lawmakers have millions of dollars worth of decisions to make in the closing weeks of the legislative session, spread among dozens of bills that far surpass the budget allotted to them
.
In all, the lawmakers ranked 140 bills with price tags ranging from hundreds of millions of dollars to tens of thousands. They separate the proposals into four buckets: One-time costs; those with relatively low ongoing costs of about $250,000 or less; more expensive ongoing costs; and those that affect revenue or the cap set by the taxpayer bill of rights.
In the Senate, where the bill originated and is generally seen as the more moderate chamber, Democrats ranked it as the No. 5 priority. In the House, Democratic members ranked it No. 37. It would cost the state about $550,000, according to nonpartisan fiscal analysis.
