  • April 29, 2019
    April 29, 2019 “After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains.” -Walt Whitman The First Regular Session of the Seventy-second General Assembly convened on Jan. 4, 2019. As of today, there have been 335 bills in the House and 263 bills in the Senate introduced. Expect weekly newsletters from Axiom during the legislative session, and your Capitol Watch bill tracker URL will be sent every Friday. -Team Axiom- With 5 days to go, here's what's still on the Colorado legislature's plate Colorado Politics The list of major bills awaiting final action from the Colorado General Assembly has changed little in three weeks. Out of the 561 bills introduced in the 2019 General Assembly session, 296 are still awaiting actions by lawmakers as of 8 a.m. Monday, with a final deadline of midnight Friday. That's more than the number awaiting action — 271 — just last Wednesday. According to the daily tally from the Office of Legislative Legal Services, 168 bills are pending in the House, 128 in the Senate. Many are non-controversial. But Democratic lawmakers, who hold both chambers, now have to decide what they're willing to let go of before the midnight bell on Friday. While bills like red flag, oil and gas, and National Popular Vote have made it all the way to the governor's desk — and he's signed them — there are plenty of issues dividing the parties that will keep lawmakers up late at night for the next five days.

  • General Assembly State of Colorado Denver
    General Assembly State of Colorado Denver August 14, 2020 Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission 1120 Lincoln St #801 Denver, CO 80203 Via email: [email protected] Nearly a decade in the making, the Colorado legislature passed Senate Bill 19-181 last year, charging the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) “shall regulate oil and gas operations in a manner to protect and minimize adverse impacts to public health, safety, and welfare, the environment, and wildlife resources and shall protect against adverse impacts on any air, water, soil, or biological resources resulting from oil and gas operations.” This historic bill shifted our state focus to better prioritize health and safety as we also regulate this important industry. SB19-181 also made a significant change to the agency itself shifting the COGCC to full time members who can focus on these key issues. In the coming months, we know that your hard work will be key to implementing the legislative vision of this law. Your presence on this commission is intended to ensure fulfillment of the agency’s new mission. Truly, our constituents and local economies are relying on you, in this role, to help improve their overall wellbeing. This is no small task, which is why your expertise and willingness to join this effort makes us proud. We appreciate your support improving protections for public health, safety, and the environment. Due to the previous mission, COGCC commissioners and staff were often drawn between competing interests, often in conflict. This led to permits granted for oil and gas facilities that were not protective of public health, safety, welfare, the environment and wildlife.

  • State-Sponsored Reclamation Projects in Colorado, 1888-1903
    Before the Newlands Act: State-sponsored Reclamation Projects in Colorado, 1888-1903 DONALD A. MAcKENDRICK In the summer of 1972 citizens and dignitaries gathered in Montrose to celebrate the sixty-third anniversary of the opening of the Uncompahgre Project, a reclamation scheme that diverted water from the Gunnison River to the Uncompaghre River by way of a 5.8 mile tunnel through the wall of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and distributed the water to nearly seventy thou­ sand acres of semiarid land in Montrose and Delta counties. 1 The Uncompahgre Project was one of the first reclamation projects undertaken by the federal government under the terms of the Newlands Act (1902). 2 The project had originated as a reclamation undertaking of the State of Colorado. In fact, as the United States Reclamation Service was beginning its long and spectacular career in reclaiming arid lands with the opening of the Gunnison Tunnel, the state government of Colorado was ter­ minating its brief and disappointing career in the same field. "Where the states have failed, the federal government has moved in" is axiomatic in recounting the disappointing years between 1888 and 1903, the years of reclamation experimenta­ tion in the Centennial State. 3 The progenitor of state involvement in reclamation affairs was Alva Adams, who twice sat in the governor's chair between 1 Montrose Daily Press, 14 August 1972; U.S., Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Sun•ey. 1902-1903 (Washington, D.C.: Government Printing Office. 1903), pp. 219-35 (hereinafter cited as US. Geolo11ical Survey). 1 The Newlands Act, 17 June 1902, committed from $3 million to $4 million annually to reclaim arid land.

  • The Opinion (PDF)
    dictating the specifics of how the legislature might comply with the reading requirement, it is the judiciary’s prerogative and responsibility to declare that the legislature did not comply with that requirement in this case. The supreme court therefore agrees with the district court’s determination that the unintelligible sounds produced by the computers on the Senate floor on March 11, 2019, did not fulfill the reading requirement. However, unlike the district court, the supreme court stops short of telling the legislature how to comply with the reading requirement. It was not within the district court’s domain to dictate the form or manner by which the legislature may comply with the reading requirement. By prescribing how the legislature must comply with the reading requirement, the district court trespassed upon the separation-of- powers tenet so essential to our constitutional system of government. Accordingly, the supreme court affirms in part and reverses in part.
