CO Revenue Resolution Dies

Perhaps someone else can find something that I can’t.

The annual non-binding resolution that declares and certifies the revenue estimates will not pass at all this year.

House Republicans refuse to budge on their rejection of the estimates set by people who do so for a living in favor of their own random guess. Senate democrats refuse to spend anything less than every dime they expect to make (even though the budget has had to be re-cut each year since 2007 due to the estimate being too high).

So for what I believe is the first time in at least the last decade, if not ever, the resolution will not pass.

They aren’t even bothering with a conference committee because neither side intends to compromise even a little.

Let’s give a big cheer for all that bipartisanship we were promised when the session started.
