DENVER — Colorado's lawmakers on Monday wrapped up their work for the special session, sending several measures to Gov. Jared Polis, including the Democrats' solution to soaring property tax bills.
Polis signed four of the seven measures on Monday.
All told, lawmakers passed seven bills in four days, working through the weekend in a marathon session that followed Polis and his allies' stinging defeat when voters rejected Proposition HH, which would have used Taxpayer's Bill of Rights refunds for property tax relief. The ballot measure lost by more than 18 percentage points and won in only six out of the state's 64 counties.
A pro-Palestinian protest also disrupted the session and a Democratic lawmaker, who was already called out of order earlier, joined the demonstrators who called for a "ceasefire" in the House gallery, prompting her colleagues, both Democrat and Republican, to stand behind the Colorado General Assembly's lone Republican Jewish lawmaker.
