Episode 13
Our Government Affairs Director, Riley Kitts, explains how six people decide to spend Colorado’s entire $30 billion public budget in one year. You’ll be surprised about how long it takes for the “long bill” to come together, and some of the maneuvers legislators attempt to steer money to their priorities. It’s the one single bill that legislators are required to pass and many other bills are dependent on it. It moves fast, and a lot is on the line in the few intense days it is being debated.
