发帖数: 19713 | 1 Colorado Lawmakers to Consider Civil Unions Bill — Again

Colorado lawmakers are back in session at the behest of Gov. John
Hickenlooper on a range of bills, including civil unions legislation that
failed to reach debate last week.
Why the measure failed to get a vote depends on whom you ask. Advocates and
Democrats say that state house Republicans blocked the bill using procedural
stall tactics, while GOP leaders said the bill came up too late in the
legislative session to be considered.
The Denver Post reports that lawmakers convene this morning, and that the
civil unions bill will likely be introduced in the house.
Multiple bills may be considered in the special legislative session."This is
civil rights. This is people's legal rights,” Hickenlooper said last week.
"It's supposed to be guaranteed in our Constitution.” |
