The Durango Herald’s Peter Marcus reports on debate over House Bill 16-1454, legislation that would restore the state’s presidential primary elections–a timely push after both Republicans and Democrats found their own things to hate about the caucus process in 2016: While the legislation has bipartisan sponsorship, it passed the Democratic-controlled committee on a party-line vote.
