The text of President Garcia's Remarks follow. 1 2 Madam President Pro Tempore. Mr. Majority Leader. Mr. Minority Leader. Friends. 3 Loved Ones. Honored Guests. 4 5 Good morning and welcome back to the Senate… 6 7 To our re-elected senators, congratulations on your hard-fought campaigns and well- 8 earned victories. Your tireless work stood the test, and your constituents reaffirmed their 9 confidence in your representation. 10 11 Senators Bridges, Fields, Gardner, Ginal, Hansen, Moreno, Priola, Rankin, Smallwood, 12 Zenzinger. We are honored to have you return to this body and look forward to our 13 continued work together! 14 15 To our newly elected senators, Welcome. Your communities have sent you to represent 16 them during a time unlike any other – trusting you to put their wellbeing above your own, 17 their priorities above party politics... I expect you will treat this chamber with the honor 18 and respect it requires and add to our long-standing tradition of cooperation and dutiful 19 deliberation. 20 21 Senators Buckner, Coleman, Jaquez Lewis, Kirkmeyer, Kolker, Liston, Simpson. I hope 22 this chamber will be stronger because of Your presence. 23 24 This past year has been one of the most difficult times in living memory. 25 26 After almost 10 months of isolation, fear, loss, and burn-out we are a community changed. 27 28 People’s jobs have disappeared, their life savings bled dry, and their lives thrust into a 29 seemingly endless barrage of tragedy and unrest. 30 31 We have seen small businesses suffer, devastating - often unrecoverable - damage, our 32 kids turned victim to an ever-changing learning schedule and environment, as well as a 33 storm of mental health issues resulting in increased suicide and overdose deaths. 34 35 And in the midst of all this heartbreak, we have watched a president and his enablers 36 cause unimaginable destruction to our democracy– sowing lies and distrust into the minds 37 of vulnerable people and ultimately radicalizing them to engage in violent and seditious 38 behavior. 39 40 We are at a critical crossroads, with certain challenges no one has ever faced in human 41 history, and how we respond to these challenges will define our world ir-revocably. 42 43 I know today is not the opening day any of us imagined or hoped for when we adjourned 44 last summer. 45 46 But even as this crushing pandemic continues to wreak havoc on our state, its grip is 47 lessening. 48 49 With TENS of thousands of Coloradans already vaccinated, and millions of dollars in 50 direct aid to our state already allocated, we are well on our way to defeating this pandemic 51 once and for all. 52 53 Yet the aftershocks of this disease will ripple through our communities - long after our 54 immunity. 55 56 That’s why we are at the precipice of one of the MOST important legislative periods in 57 Colorado history. 58 59 It is our collective responsibility to shepherd this state not only through an economic 60 recovery, but a social transformation. 61 62 A recovery that doesn’t just “return things to normal” but rights the wrongs of an 63 economy that already disadvantaged working people... and corrects course towards a 64 system that benefits ALL Coloradans not just those at the top. 65 66 While we will not walk these halls over the next month, our work must remain on track. 67 68 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 13, 2021 Page 25

Now is the time to LISTEN to our constituents, get creative, and come back with a 1 rigorous plan to deliver on the issues most important to Coloradans. 2 3 This includes policies to 4 lower the cost of living, 5 increase access to affordable healthcare, 6 bring direct relief to struggling small businesses, and 7 support students getting back to school. 8 9 I have tremendous faith in this body and its ability to work together for the good of our 10 state. 11 12 What better example than the success we achieved during special session – coming 13 together to pass meaningful policies that provide direct relief to Coloradans during their 14 time of need. 15 16 We have PROVED we can work together, but it requires an individual commitment from 17 Every Single Member, to roll up their sleeves and be a part of the solution. 18 19 Colorado is NOT Washington D.C. We are independent, forward-thinking problem- 20 solvers that refuse to allow party affiliations to turn us into mindless soldiers of myopic 21 ideologies. 22 23 Now more than ever, it is imperative that we continue in this example and do NOT let 24 national division grow roots here in our backyard. 25 26 So let us use our time wisely and in good faith – putting duty above political agendas and 27 humanity above hubris, because people’s lives and livelihoods depend on it. 28 29 Thank you. 30 ______31 32 President Garcia recognized Minority Leader Holbert to address the Senate. 33 ______34 35 36 The text of Minority Leader Holbert's remarks follow. 37 38 Mr. President, Mr. Majority Leader, members of the , families and guests: 39 40 With the start of the first regular session of the 73rd General Assembly, our part-time 41 citizen state legislature returns to help steer our state through one of the most challenging 42 times in the history of our state, and with that, the health, economic, and budgetary 43 consequences that have come with it. 44 45 If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is how abundance in the best of 46 times must be appreciated. For nearly a decade, a robust and growing Colorado economy 47 provided state coffers with record-setting revenue, making a glutton out of our legislature. 48 Then, with the sudden collapse of that economy due to COVID-19 and government 49 restrictions on business and personal activity, we saw the greatest single-year revenue 50 decline in state history. 51 52 Senate Republicans offer our thanks to the prior members of the Joint Budget Committee, 53 Senators Rankin, Moreno, and Zenzinger. Not just for their ability to navigate those 54 troubled waters, but their willingness and cooperation to do so. It was a thankless job that 55 required them to stick to facts, numbers, and data despite overwhelming emotional 56 upheaval from every department, agency, organization, and program that depends on 57 government funding. Mr. President, with your permission, might we take a moment to 58 give those members a round of applause to show our appreciation? 59 60 But, the work of the Joint Budget Committee isn’t over – our work as the Senate isn’t 61 over. Unfortunately, years of blue sky promises from the ruling political party in this state 62 are now not able to be fulfilled. Efforts to pad state coffers with new tax and fee proposals 63 have been met with fierce opposition by the voters of this state. Where the majority party 64 has been successful at implementing new programs, that was often at the expense of long- 65 existing programs that are now facing drastic cuts. 66 67 68 Page 26 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 13, 2021

In 2019, Colorado voters rejected Proposition CC, which sought to halt refunds under the 1 Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. In 2020, the People of Colorado passed both Proposition 116, 2 which lowered the rate of state personal income tax; and they passed Proposition 117, 3 which will ensure that voters have the right to weigh in on fee increases and put an end to 4 the endless creation of massive government enterprises. 5 6 To the voters who have made their voices clear, we Senate Republicans hear you. Now 7 more than ever, in an economy so controlled by Executive Orders from the Executive 8 Branch, we should stand opposed to increasing the burden on the working men and 9 women of Colorado. I will stand against the creation of a new tax, an increase of an 10 existing tax rate, or attempts to implement new fees on existing taxes and I encourage the 11 members of the Senate Minority caucus to stand with me in that effort. Such plans for so- 12 called “new revenue” would only serve to increase the burden on Colorado families to 13 keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. 14 15 During the last 10 months, over 300 Executive Orders have been issued by our Governor. 16 Arguably, during an emergency such as this, the executive branch must step up and lead. I 17 offer my thanks to Governor Polis and his administration for their endurance during these 18 unprecedented times. Still, with the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, we 19 must be willing to have a conversation, however uncomfortable it may be for those in the 20 same political party as our current governor, regarding the balance of power in our state 21 government during the next prolonged statewide disaster emergency. 22 23 People from across Colorado, in all thirty-five state Senate districts and of all political 24 affiliations have rightly asked, “Where is our legislature?” For example, they rightly 25 demanded answers as to why we, colleagues, decided to limit hair salons to 50% of their 26 rated occupancy or 10 persons, whichever was less? They have rightly wanted to 27 understand why we decided that restaurants and other establishments were to be limited to 28 certain capacities. They demand to know by what criteria we legislators decided which 29 businesses were deemed “essential” and which were not. But, the answer to all such 30 questions is the same: we didn’t. We couldn’t. We are a part-time citizen legislature and 31 we did not participate in making any of those decisions for the people who we represent. 32 33 34 We have seen many changes to our Colorado Constitution within the last 32 years, and 35 perhaps it is time that we discuss how we can ensure that the legislature remains a co- 36 equal branch with the executive branch during a prolonged declared statewide disaster 37 emergency. 38 39 Senate Republicans will fight to ensure this discussion occurs this session, led by Senator 40 Lundeen who will again introduce a concurrent resolution seeking to restore balance 41 between the Executive and Legislative branches of our state government during the next 42 prolonged declared statewide disaster emergency. 43 44 That proposal is not a partisan one, nor does it seek to pass judgement on the current 45 Governor for actions he did – or did not – take during this crisis. Nobody could have 46 foreseen an emergency declaration that lasted 308 days, gave authority for hundreds of 47 executive orders, and left our legislative branch out of the conversation. 48 49 But now we know. Today, we have the benefit of experience and knowledge that our 50 predecessors did not have. And now, we must act. 51 52 Senate Republicans also invite our friends opposite to join us in an effort to end the 53 random discrimination against Colorado small businesses that have been deemed “non 54 essential.” Senator Rob Woodward will, once again, introduce a bill based on legislation 55 that passed the Ohio House of Representatives with strong bipartisan support. We can do 56 that, too. We’ve worked together before and we can do it again. 57 58 What would Senator Woodward’s bill do? It would simply allow businesses to remain 59 open by following the same guidelines as “essential” businesses, rather like we are now. 60 61 You may be familiar with the story of a “Smoker Friendly” store located in Parker 62 Colorado. That business sells tobacco products to adult customers. I’m not a customer, 63 I’m not even a prospective customer. But, by what criteria was the owner of that business 64 forced to remain closed? It wasn’t the products that he sells. Nope, a customer could go to 65 any one of several large national businesses within sight of that small business to buy 66 tobacco products. 67 68 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 13, 2021 Page 27

Was it the size of his business? No, it wasn’t that, either. During the entire shutdown 1 period, a customer could go to any one of the several liquor stores located nearby, both 2 large and small, to buy liquor. Or, for those who patronize cannabis dispensaries, those 3 customers could do business at any of the small or large dispensaries located throughout 4 the metro Denver area. How about the local small business in my community that sells 5 sprinkler parts? No, they weren’t deemed “essential” so they had to remain closed… while 6 the big box national chains couldn’t keep enough sprinkler parts in stock last spring. 7 8 This isn’t a partisan issue, colleagues. This is just as right for the constituents who you 9 represent as it is for the people who I represent. And, it’s the right thing for us to do for 10 the business owners and employees of those businesses throughout Colorado. 11 12 There has also been a great deal of discussion regarding our role as part-time, citizen 13 legislators. Short of a rare special session called by the governor and limited by our state 14 constitution to only those topics that the governor identifies, we state Senators and 15 Representatives of the People of Colorado have the power of our elected office for only 16 120 days each year. During the other eight months each year, we are citizens just like 17 everybody else. Yes, there have even been murmurs that we should transition back to a 18 full-time legislature. 19 20 The hell we do. 21 22 Let us not allow a once-in-a-hundred-year pandemic to cloud our judgement on this issue. 23 Our roles here as legislators should not be divorced from the realities of everyday working 24 Coloradans. 25 26 In November 1988, Colorado voters made the right choice. They did not want, and I 27 believe still do not want, a full-time, year round, state legislature. As citizen legislators it 28 is our job to represent our constituents during a 120-day general session and then we are 29 to go home, back to our regular jobs for those who have them, and to be citizens, just like 30 the people who we are blessed to represent. 31 Senate Republicans believe it is time to discuss our legislature’s role in a declared 32 emergency, but we do not embrace the premise that our temporary circumstances should 33 inspire us to return to a full-time legislature. 34 35 The COVID pandemic has shifted conversations about healthcare here in Colorado. It was 36 just one year ago that those in the ruling party were labeling our hospitals as being greedy 37 while pushing for a so-called “public option” as if involving the government to an even 38 greater extent in the delivery of healthcare would somehow make it more affordable or 39 more available. No, that hasn’t worked and it won’t work. If you want to make healthcare 40 more affordable, then get the government out of that business, not more involved in it. 41 42 But, it is worth asking now – what would the statewide ICU capacity have been if the 43 public option had been in place prior to the COVID-19 pandemic? What communities 44 would have been without a local hospital if the public option had been passed? 45 46 Now, with public approval of our hospitals at an all-time high due to their extraordinary 47 efforts to save lives and combat the COVID-19 virus, some in the ruling party have 48 changed their tune. Perhaps it would be wise to heed the warnings that came from that 49 industry. An industry that has literally saved tens of thousands of lives during this 50 pandemic deserves to flourish in the realm of private-sector innovation, not stifled in the 51 dusty halls of government bureaucracy. 52 53 Yes, Senate Republicans will continue to oppose so-called “public option” legislation, but 54 are excited to bring other bills that will aim to increase transparency, bring down costs, 55 and expand options for Coloradans without putting their local hospital at risk of closure. 56 57 We are excited to see Senator Smallwood reintroduce bipartisan legislation that will 58 ensure that this legislature reviews the impacts of our actions on healthcare plans, taking 59 into account how many Coloradans are impacted, expected changes in rates, and other 60 essential information that will guide us as we work to bring down rates and expand 61 options for all Coloradans. 62 63 Crises like the one we are currently experiencing have a way of clarifying our thinking 64 when it comes to governance. It provides a moment to prioritize what really matters in our 65 society, and nothing could be closer to the top of that list than the education of our 66 children. 67 68 Page 28 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 13, 2021

COVID-19’s disastrous effects on the public education system left parents confused, 1 anxious, and in many cases, distraught. Many parents with the resources and insight leapt 2 into action early, finding alternative pathways to ensure their child remained educated and 3 prepared for the lifetime ahead of them. 4 5 Unfortunately, those parents tended to be more affluent and more white. The disparity 6 between those who were achieving and those who were struggling has only widened, and 7 allegiance to the monolithic institutions of old has only furthered that divide. Senate 8 Republicans recommit themselves today to the individual – the student, the parent, and the 9 teacher, and not to those antiquated institutions. 10 11 That’s why Senator Lundeen will be bringing legislation that seeks to reallocate resources 12 from these failing institutions directly into the hands of our parents and students to ensure 13 that those who are not affluent and predominantly from communities of color can have the 14 opportunity to succeed. 15 16 There is a kid today in Sun Valley – a neighborhood in Denver where the median income 17 is just over $11,000 – who doesn’t have the same opportunities as the kid living across 18 town in the neighborhood of Hilltop – where the median income is over $138,000. 19 20 We can help bridge that divide but it requires us to refocus ourselves on the individual – 21 on the student. I hope my colleagues across the aisle are willing to think outside the box, 22 to buck the norms of yesterday, so that we may be able to provide a brighter future for all 23 students. 24 25 At the end of our extended general session last year you, Mr. President, along with 26 Senator Fields and with input from Senators Cooke and Gardner, led the nation in law- 27 enforcement reform legislation. Thanks to that collaborative effort, we were able to pass 28 the largest piece of police reform legislation in generations and did so with significant, 29 bipartisan support. 30 31 There will always be work to do on the criminal justice front, which is why Senate 32 Republicans remain committed to ensuring that all Coloradans, regardless of their race, 33 their creed, gender, or their background, are treated equally under the law. 34 35 To that end, Assistant Minority Leader Cooke will introduce legislation to reform “Brady 36 Lists” – compilations of officers with disciplinary records created by individual District 37 Attorneys – to ensure that we have clear standards for ensuring that officers who violate 38 policy are added to the list and that those officers also receive due process. 39 40 No one in this chamber – nobody outside this chamber – wants bad law-enforcement 41 officers patrolling our neighborhoods. We are excited to continue cultivating the 42 bipartisan spirit that was present during the debate of Senate Bill 20-217 into this session 43 so that we may continue to make progress on that important issue. 44 45 Senators, we have a tough road ahead of us. Welcome to the Senate, Senators Kirkmeyer, 46 Simpson, Liston, Buckner, Coleman, Jaquez Lewis, and Kolker. Never shy away from 47 sharing your perspective, your life experiences, your expertise, and your wisdom with us. 48 We are excited to get to know you, work with you, and together strive for the betterment 49 of the People who call Colorado home. 50 51 Mr. President, when you took that gavel two years ago, you stated that no party had a 52 monopoly on good ideas. We hope this session will be another when those words become 53 reality. Let’s not just praise bipartisanship, let’s embody it. Let us not just tell the media 54 that we enjoy working with our colleagues across the aisle, let’s actually do so. 55 56 You were right, Mr. President, when you said we should reject Washington D.C. politics. 57 We should reject blind partisanship as we demonstrated during the recent, three-day, 58 special session. We should embrace debate and discourse. 59 60 I can only hope that we fulfill that potential and show the entire nation what happens 61 when Colorado leads. 62 63 God Bless you, colleagues. May God Bless the People of Colorado and, as we sang 64 earlier, God Bless America! 65 66 Thank you, Mr. President. And now, let’s get to work! 67 68 Senate Journal-1st Day-January 13, 2021 Page 29

Colfax Avenue 51 Denver, Colorado 80203 52

Welcome to the First Regular Session of the 73rd General Assembly. I want to welcome 53 those first-time lawmakers, and thank you for you for choosing to give back through public 54 service; I also want to applaud our returning legislators, as well as those whose service has 55 concluded. You came together not once, but two separate times to provide much needed 56 relief to Coloradans. You stepped up to answer the call, even when it meant increased risk 57 to your own health, passing legislation supporting our small businesses, providing rent and 58 utility assistance, increasing food access, and more. 59 60 These are extraordinary times, and this legislative session will look different than many 61 others, including the delay of our public State of the State address. I very much look 62 forward to addressing you all in-person in February when the General Assembly 63 reconvenes following the coming recess. For now, however, I wanted to provide a brief 64 update on our great state following one of the most challenging years in Colorado history. 65 66 67 Senate Journal-2nd Day-January 14, 2021 Page 43

Over these last 10 months, Coloradans have been truly tested, and no one has been left 1 untouched by this pandemic. We've all felt the impacts, whether economic or health related, 2 and I'm proud of how Coloradans have reacted in the face of such challenges. 3 4 On March 5, Colorado confirmed its first case of COVID-19, and since then our lives have 5 been transformed. In the weeks leading up to this first case, we worked closely with the 6 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to prepare for when the virus 7 would reach our state, and acted swiftly once the first case was confirmed to declare a state 8 of emergency and initiate a statewide response that prioritized the health and safety of 9 Coloradans. 10 11 The early weeks of the pandemic saw nationwide shortages of critical personal protective 12 equipment (PPE) and testing supplies, and with little from the federal government, we had 13 to create our own supply chains and secure our own equipment. We worked to negotiate 14 key deals, including a 17-month contract with Honeywell for 6 million masks to keep our 15 frontline health care workers safe. Over the course of this pandemic, Colorado has gone 16 from being able to run 160 tests per day at the state lab to more than 50,000 across our 17 public and private partners. And we were the first state in the country to stand up a 18 drive-through testing site, followed by more than 50 community testing sites across the 19 state. 20 21 We prioritized transparency by holding press conferences multiple times per week to give 22 Coloradans a clear picture of our epidemiological trends, quickly establishing public facing 23 dashboards and data visualizations, and encouraging everyone to keep #DoingMyPartCO to 24 spread science-based information about steps Coloradans can take to protect themselves 25 and others from the virus. 26 27 As the health crisis unfolded, the economic effects of the virus began to take form. 28 Coloradans struggled to make ends meet, from small business owners wondering how they 29 would stay open to Coloradans who weren't sure where their next meal was coming from. 30 We quickly stood up the Colorado COVID Relief Fund and partnered with the 31 philanthropic community to help raise money to support local nonprofits and organizations 32 working with people directly impacted by the pandemic. To date, the fund has awarded 33 more than $23 million to nearly 1,000 organizations across all 64 counties. 34 35 Early in the crisis we assembled the Economic Stabilization and Growth Council, led by 36 Secretary Federico Pena and other business and community leaders, and acted on their 37 recommendations to mitigate the pandemic's impact on our economy. We cut red tape for 38 small businesses and streamlined government services. 39 40 In late March, after working closely with our federal delegation, Congress finally acted to 41 provide much-needed relief through the CARES Act. We worked with legislative 42 leadership to distribute $1.674 billion in federal funds from the CARES Act to support 43 school districts, boost higher education institutions, help Coloradans with housing costs 44 and food assistance, and more. 45 46 I'm incredibly proud that we were one of the first states in the country to come out of stay at 47 home and begin slowly reopening our economy, leading to a summer of strong economic 48 activity while successfully suppressing the virus. Due in part to that successful summer, our 49 overall economy remains one of the strongest in the country. 50 51 And we continue doing everything we can to take care of our own. In order to help 52 Coloradans who had been hardest hit by the pandemic, in partnership with legislative 53 leadership, I took action to provide direct payments of $375 to more than 400,000 who had 54 faced unemployment during the pandemic. 55 56 In addition to the urgent action we took together to address the COVID crisis, we worked 57 together with Colorado lawmakers to pass and sign legislation to address our nation's racial 58 reckoning, like SB20-219, Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity Act. I also signed an 59 executive order directing the Department of Personnel & Administration to lead efforts on 60 furthering equity, diversity, and inclusion within our state government and will look to 61 make additional progress on ensuring that we truly can build a Colorado for all this session. 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 Page 44 Senate Journal-2nd Day-January 14, 2021

This past year, Colorado was also hit with the largest wildfires in our state's history, forcing 1 many Coloradans to flee from their homes, unsure if they would be able to return. Extreme 2 statewide drought laid the foundation for these devastating fires, showing us that climate 3 refugees don't just live on the coasts. First responders had to adapt to the reality of fighting 4 fires while keeping themselves safe from the virus. The communities impacted are still 5 picking up the pieces today, showing the true resilience of Coloradans and the need for 6 continued action to address the climate crisis we face. 7 8 Over the fall, COVID cases across the nation and in Colorado started to rise once again. As 9 we worked to manage this new wave of infections, cases and hospitalizations surged above 10 Spring levels. While a Stay-at-Home order was effective in March, we had more isolated 11 disease transmission in this new wave, more knowledge of the virus, and knew firsthand 12 the economic impact that a Stay-at-Home order had on our communities. In order to help 13 manage the crisis more locally, the state worked with local communities to create a 14 COVID-19 dial system that coded each county based on caseloads, positivity rate, and other 15 factors. Counties began to move further away from "green" and more towards "orange" and 16 "red" as the winter months got closer. The hospital system began again to reach crisis 17 levels. 18 19 After months of remote learning for many students, new evidence suggested that being out 20 of the classroom was having a devastating effect on children and families, as well as 21 worsening gender-based earning disparities in the workplace. There was little indication 22 that schools were playing a large role in disease transmission, given that young children 23 were significantly less likely to catch the virus or transmit it. Armed with more information 24 and the advice of a new "Back-to-School Working Group", the State released a "Roadmap 25 to In-Person Learning" with detailed steps to help every school district get back to 26 in-person learning as soon as safely possible. As we focused on standing up the resources 27 schools needed to be successful, we also supported innovation in education. We stood up 28 the Response, Innovation, and Student Equity (RISE) fund to provide over $30 million to 29 school districts, schools, higher education institutions, and partnerships that have been 30 disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to help them innovate and emerge stronger than 31 before. And to ensure the classroom remains one of the safest places for our children, we 32 are partnering with Binax to provide free, at-home testing for educators and students across 33 the state. The program will distribute 1 million tests per month to schools across the state 34 who opt in. 35 36 Last month, Colorado received the wonderful news that multiple highly effective vaccines 37 had been approved for emergency use, and would be distributed to states immediately. 38 Colorado once again moved quickly to operationalize a plan to distribute vaccines to 39 providers, prioritizing those most at-risk, including health care workers and those 70 years 40 of age and older, who are significantly more likely to require hospitalization and to die 41 from the virus. It is vital that as we rapidly distribute the vaccine, we also do so through a 42 lens that ensures equity for our communities of color, including those with less means, and 43 those that live in hard to reach areas of our state. The unacceptable alternative will result in 44 our black and brown communities falling further and faster behind than the rest of our 45 state. The end is truly in sight as we work over the coming months to ensure the general 46 population has access to the vaccine this summer. 47 48 49 Looking back, I am proud of how Coloradans have stepped up for each other and their 50 communities. Time and time again, we have proven just how resilient we are as a state. 51 This pandemic has exposed the cracks in our systems and forced us all to examine how we 52 can do better. We have an opportunity before us to reimagine Colorado's future and rebuild 53 in a way that truly creates a Colorado for all. 54 I look forward to being with you all in February and providing a more thorough update on 55 the state of our state in person. Until then, be safe and thank you for your dedication to our 56 great state. 57 58 59 Sincerely, 60 (signed) 61 Jared Polis 62 Governor 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 Senate Journal-2nd Day-January 14, 2021 Page 45

While in many ways it is just a building, not unlike the countless others across our nation's 1 capitals, we are reminded of its symbolic significance and the sacrifice necessary to keep it 2 standing. 3 4 Our forefathers once dreamt of places like this one. 5 6 Trapped under the heel of totalitarian rule, they imagined a day when buildings would be 7 erected to foster great debate of free people. 8 9 They envisioned a nation where the limited circumstances of your birth would not dictate the 10 magnitude of your destiny. 11 12 And now, some 250 years later, we are reminded that the liberty we hold dear is still in need of 13 safeguarding. 14 15 Democracy and freedom may be the foundation of our country's inception but they are not 16 indestructible, they are not a guarantee. 17 18 It takes ALL of us, every-single-day, striving to live up to the transcendent ideals of our 19 republic, in order to keep it. 20 21 This task has been handed down through the generations - in war times and in peace, in 22 recession and in prosperity, in devastation and in growth. 23 24 Despite struggles or ease, this body is responsible for reaching beyond the hardships of our 25 present moment towards a future of greater opportunity. 26 27 We begin the 73rd General Assembly not as we hoped a year ago. Weathered by storms, we are 28 a different body, a different state, a different nation than we once were. 29 30 We are all sobered by the losses we have faced, and yet our devotion and commitment to the 31 immense task before us remains unaltered. 32 33 I want to thank you all for the dedication you have shown during this harrowing time. Without 34 the resilience of your resolve, our state would not be experiencing the improvements we are 35 seeing today. 36 37 I especially want to thank the Majority Leader, the Minority Leader, and each of you for your 38 partnership and collaboration in navigating one of the most tumultuous legislative years to date. 39 40 More importantly, I would like to take a moment to thank our frontline workers and community 41 heroes who have braved this storm unflinchingly. 42 43 Battered by the relentless winds and torrential rains of this pandemic, nurses, doctors, 44 emergency responders... teachers, grocery clerks, sanitation teams... postal workers, daycare 45 providers, and elderly caregivers have selflessly served OUR community and country during 46 one of the most heartbreaking times in our history - putting the well-being of others before their 47 own and pressed forward even in the darkest of hours. 48 49 Your courage, sacrifice, and selfless devotion will be remembered long after the murals of you - 50 painted on city walls all across this country - fade with time. 51 52 Because the virtuous compassion of your contribution inspired a nation- when all hope seemed 53 lost. It is what reminded us of our greater connectedness and gave us hope for the future. 54 55 Hope, that in many ways, can be hard to come by. For a crisis has borne down on us with 56 unrelenting force and has persisted, to this very day, to tear apart our economy, upend our lives, 57 and rob us of our loved ones. 58 59 Meanwhile, a different battle has raged on another front, one of violence, division, and hatred. 60 We are war-torn, not by the hands of a foreign adversary, but by the malice grown from within. 61 62 Brother turned against brother, we have walked the treacherous tightrope over ultimate 63 destruction - reminded once again of the dire consequences of a nation divided. 64 65 While political tribalism is nothing new, the mechanism in which it is grown has become all too 66 pervasive. With the click of a button, we can enter a world that confirms our worst fears and 67 breeds bitter bias. We sit in echo chambers created by companies that magnify our differences 68 and profit from our fear. 69 70 And somehow in the mess of it all, some leaders in government have decided that fanning the 71 flames of hatred is more politically viable than standing up for what is right, good, and true. 72 Page 72 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021

This selfish allegiance to political expediency, though newly inflated, has been around for 1 generations, creating a system that props up the wealthy and penalizes the poor, an economy 2 that siphons hard work by the many to create power for the few... 3 4 So let us be clear, our road to recovery and reconciliation is littered with daunting challenges. 5 Challenges that will not be solved painlessly or mastered overnight. And yet, with a persistent 6 and steady determination, they will be overcome... 7 8 Today, we gather to recommit ourselves to this task. 9 10 We come ready and willing to not just recover from this pandemic and the civil discord that has 11 gripped our nation - but build back a stronger, more just Colorado... 12 13 A Colorado that upholds the principles of freedom, equity, and opportunity. 14 15 A Colorado that dares to carry on our great tradition of bold leadership - because at our core we 16 are pioneers - frontiersmen - the legacy of a daring few who braved the unknown in search of a 17 brighter future. 18 19 But it is no longer the rugged terrain that begs to be bested, it is the frontline of social, political, 20 and environmental progress. 21 22 Like the wilderness of the west, this pursuit is not for the timid. For it requires a visionary's 23 creativity - a sage's wisdom - and a trailblazer's courage. 24 25 It asks us to toil until our backs ache; to dig deep; to reach high; to heal wounds and repair 26 breaks. It asks us to remember that we are greater together than apart. 27 28 Every generation has had their hill to climb - this is ours. 29 30 We stand at the foot of a monstrous recovery mission, but before weariness weighs down our 31 feet, we must remember how far we've come. 32 33 With finite funds, we were able to join together and work across the aisle to deliver results for 34 our state - passing meaningful legislation to address child care shortages, utility costs, and food 35 insecurity. 36 37 We prioritized struggling Coloradans and small businesses by allocating millions in historic 38 housing relief and rescue grants. 39 40 We protected workers from retaliation, ensured employers offered paid sick leave, and 41 expanded access to unemployment insurance, in a time when so many have lost their jobs. 42 43 We revised unfair tax policies that overburdened hardworking families and shielded powerful 44 corporations. 45 46 And we passed the most ambitious policy proposal addressing police violence in the country. 47 48 But our work is far from over. We are still in the midst of a crisis. 49 50 Over five thousand Coloradans have died from COVID-19 and hundreds more are currently 51 hospitalized. 52 53 Too many people are still out of work and facing inconsistent and inadequate unemployment 54 support. 55 56 Too many children go to bed hungry. Too many families face eviction. Too many businesses 57 contemplate closure. 58 59 We must stop the bleeding. We must urgently respond to the needs of our state: rescuing Main 60 Street from financial ruin, providing relief to anxious tenants in need of next month's rent, 61 replenishing community resources that serve the weary and jobless. 62 63 We must help schools reopen and address the mental health burdens of our residents 64 65 We must bolster vaccine distribution and ensure every Coloradan has access to this life-saving 66 protection. 67 68 We must. And We Will. 69 70 Because resilience is the path that promises reward. A path that is not a stranger to us but rather 71 covered with our footprints… 72 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021 Page 73

For there have been many times in our history when we could have given up, when we could 1 have turned on each other forever. But instead, we found it in ourselves to not only press on, 2 but offer a hand, understanding that we rise and fall as one. 3 4 Like the trials of previous generations, this pandemic has and will make us stronger, but it will 5 also make us more connected, more human. Not because such a conclusion is a given but 6 because we can choose to alchemize pain into purpose. 7 8 This last year may have been defined by darkness and loss, but what was often missed was the 9 quiet comradery and kindness felt between each other: a college student delivering groceries to 10 an elderly neighbor, a factory worker cutting their own hours to keep a colleague from losing 11 their job, a husband serenading his wife outside her hospital window. 12 13 Pain certainly has the power to drive us apart. But it also has the power to bring us together. 14 15 So where some see only devastation, we will see an opportunity for compassion, for the forging 16 of tighter bonds. Because we direct our own destiny and write our own story. 17 18 We will turn the page of this disaster to one of replenishment and renewal. 19 20 We will eliminate the threat of this virus, returning to our loved ones and embracing our 21 community. 22 23 We will revitalize our economy, creating jobs and planting seeds for new growth. 24 25 We will restore our community pillars - strengthening our schools and supporting our kids... 26 27 But this journey is not only about restoration. It is about reimagination. 28 29 From the ashes, we are presented with a precious gift. A gift of rebirth. An opportunity for 30 transformation. 31 32 It is still ours to receive or reject. 33 34 We must choose. 35 36 Will we simply rebuild the structures that stood before? 37 38 Or will we remake our future - righting the wrongs of the past and fulfilling the promises of our 39 predecessors? 40 41 I believe we will choose the latter. 42 43 For from the fire is born, fertile soil. 44 45 We will use this devastation to re-envision a community built on stronger ground. 46 47 We will redesign a system that protects justice for ALL - confronting the stain of systemic 48 racism and bringing equity to the dark corners of our institutions. 49 50 We will rescue the planet we put in peril - utilizing clean energy to create jobs and rid our skies 51 of toxic pollution. 52 53 We will build a health care system that is people-focused rather than profit-hungry and ensure 54 that EVERYONE, no matter their socioeconomic status, has access to the medicine they need. 55 56 Now there are those that scoff at the breadth of our plans and the hope in our hearts. They roll 57 their eyes at our ambitions and recite the same tired lines of disbelief. 58 59 But they forget, the shoulders we stand on today were once just dreams of a generation before 60 us. 100 years ago women were not allowed the right to vote, 60 years ago our country was 61 racially segregated, 20 years ago utility-scale solar farms didn't exist, 6 years ago gay marriage 62 was prohibited, and until this year, no woman had ever held national executive office… 63 64 Don't tell me things can't change. Despite all of our faults and failings, we have made progress. 65 People have chosen, CHOSEN to press forward, believing against all odds that our journey has 66 an upward trajectory. 67 68 There is nothing different today about the choices WE face. We cannot let cynicism harden our 69 hearts and limit our imaginations. Because we are charged with shepherding our communities 70 through this crisis - and we cannot derail our aspirations, but rather we must hold fast to greater 71 possibilities. 72 Page 74 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021

Following the Great Depression, Social Security was born. After WWII came the GI Bill. 1 2 Crises have the potential to be springboards if we let them. 3 4 But this does require us to put down our arms and find commonality. 5 6 So let's not just talk about unity and healing... let's demonstrate it - with every word, with every 7 action. 8 9 Let's remember that the distance between us- appears wider than it really is. 10 11 For justice, dignity, integrity, freedom, and opportunity, are NOT party values, they are 12 American values. And while we may fail to reach them at times... our collective pursuit and 13 dedication to their summit is what makes America a beacon to the world. 14 15 And WITHIN that beacon burns...the bright light of Colorado, where we prove, time and time 16 again our ingenuity and strength. 17 18 Where we step forward to herald a new dawn when no one else sees the light. 19 20 So... though our hurdles loom large and our resources remain small, there is no limit to what we 21 can achieve this session. 22 23 We have already come so far, let us not forget in the eleventh hour that we are indivisibly 24 bound. 25 26 It is the illusion of separateness that clouds our judgment and pits us against one another. And 27 yet it is our's individually to remove. 28 29 And in so doing, let us begin again... 30 31 Much like that fateful spring day, still marred by winter, on which our towering forefather 32 spoke to a fractured nation. After so much bloodshed. After so much pain, he took to the 33 podium to proclaim: 34 35 "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right... let us strive on to 36 finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne 37 the battle...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace." 38 39 Today is the day that we reaffirm our commitment, gather our strength, and continue the work 40 of rebuilding our great state. 41 42 43 Thank you. 44 45 ______46 47 President Garcia recognized Minority Leader Holbert to address the Senate 48 ______49 50 51 The text of Minority Leader Holbert's remarks follow. 52 53 Thank you Mr. President. On December 4th, 2020. The Denver Post Editorial Board wrote 54 "Colorado lawmakers show Congress how coronavirus relief should be done. In a 3 day Special 55 Session with limited resources, the Colorado General Assembly did more for Coloradans than 56 Congress had since last March." Given my political views, I find it somewhat common to 57 disagree with the Denver Post Editorial Board, but on that one I say yes, I say thank you. Mr. 58 President I say thank you to you, major Leader, and all the members of the Senate. And even 59 our friends in the lower chamber across the way. Yes, in those 3 days, we did more for 60 Coloradans than Congress had last year. We can do that again. 61 62 It's an interesting dynamic that we're in here currently, because given press today, last Friday, 63 and recent days, it seems like we Senators, we 35 select people from around Colorado might be 64 in more agreement then disagreement. On the first opening day of this session I said thank you 65 to the members of the Joint Budget Committee and I will say thank you again. It seems thus far, 66 that the legislative branch is thinking more alike than different. It seems like the legislative 67 branch might be thinking more alike and maybe finding some disagreement or at least some 68 concern with the Executive branch. And I appreciate that. We don't know what the answers are 69 yet, but Governor Polis has continued to speak about stimulus spending. And that's certainly a 70 motivation for us all, we did that in that 3 day special session. We came back because we had 71 more dollars than we thought we would, after we reduced our expectation of dollars by about 3 72 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021 Page 75 billion of those dollars. Stimulus spending will definitely be a topic, a major topic, and it is 1 enticing to start talking about new ways that we can spend dollars. But let us not forget, 2 members, Mr. President, we cut spending last spring. The Joint Budget Committee did that. I 3 believe I've mentioned before, I received an email from a constituent right after we adjourned 4 on June 15th, and he said "cut spending before proposing to raise taxes!" and I wrote back 5 "that's exactly what we did." And yet I think many people in Colorado don't know that or if they 6 hear those words, they don't believe it. But our state constitution requires that. We are not 7 Congress, we can only allocate and spend the dollars that we will actually have and through this 8 complex process of looking out a year to the next fiscal year that starts July 1st and guessing, 9 projecting, estimating how many dollars we will have. Our Joint Budget Committee now has 10 the task of figure setting and preparing the next budget based on guesses for revenue for that 11 next fiscal year and before that, we will have a series of supplemental bills based on actual 12 revenues that we've actually started to collect. So that special session that we had, those 3 days 13 at the end of November and beginning of December, we did spend money effectively for the 14 people of Colorado because we had more dollars than we thought we would after we ratcheted 15 down those estimates by some $3 billion. We know that Congress is now prepared to take 16 action, the action that the Denver Post Editorial Board said that they didn't take last year. It 17 looks like they're about to take action to the tune of $2 trillion. What does that mean for 18 Colorado? The estimates that I've heard would be about $5 billion. $5 billion is a lot for us. Our 19 guess last year was that we were going to be looking at a fiscal year with $11-12 billion and we 20 had to ratchet that down by about $3, 3.5 billion to somewhere around $8.5 billion. We're 21 coming in a little bit above that but that's a lot less than 11 or 12, and if we get $5 billion or so 22 from the Federal government, that's a lot. 23 24 Our ask from the Senate Minority caucus is lets continue to have those discussions about 25 stimulus spending but, and this is where I think we're starting to see some agreement in the 26 press, let's wait until we actually have those dollars before we start spending them. I've heard 27 the phrase, don't count your chickens before until they hatch. Lets make sure we even have eggs 28 before we count the eggs before they become chickens. If we've got $5 billion coming from 29 congress, from the Federal government, that's good news for us. We believe in the Senate 30 Minority caucus, that our focus should first be restoring where the cuts were made. I can't help 31 but think back to the days where Republicans held the Governor's office and a majority in both 32 legislative chambers. I can't help but think back to times where I and my caucus have said lets 33 have at least $400 million a year for transportation funding, specific for roads and bridges and I 34 remember being accused that I or we Republicans didn't care about teachers and kids. That 35 taking a dollar away from K-12 and putting it into roads and bridges meant that somehow we 36 had less compassion or concern for public education, and that was not true then and is not true 37 now. We are not going to levy that accusation against members of the Joint Budget Committee 38 no matter what political designation letter you have by your name. This is a challenging time 39 for Colorado and we met that challenge during the special session and we're prepared to meet 40 that challenge now but our ask is let's not start allocating, let's not start committing stimulus 41 dollars that we don't have yet. If we get them, great. 42 43 Education funding: we're told that there's some 30,000 students who've gone missing. Were 44 they actually there before? Has count day worked correctly? Were any of those students 45 counted twice or were any students not counted? This has been an ongoing discussion for those 46 who have served on the Education committees. Count day is not a perfect science and Covid 47 has certainly effected that. If there are 30,000 students less in the count, if PPR is about $8,000 48 each, that's a lot of money, that's like $240 million. That's a lot of money for us, where did those 49 students go? Did they move to a different state, did they go to private, are they home schooling? 50 Is this a temporary issue, is it going to last for this school year or 2 or 3 years? Will that 30,000 51 student shift be a 5 year issue or 10 year issue? What about the negative factor, excuse me the 52 budget stabilization factor, we changed the label for that a few years ago. We still got an IOU 53 that's 11, 12 years old that we haven't paid back and last spring because we had to, we had to 54 reduce funding. So now we hear that we're going to hold the 178 school districts harmless, hold 55 them harmless. Okay. What does that mean? If we look at education funding in Colorado we 56 know from experience that we compare very often, our PPR is compared to total funding in 57 other states. The way the states count dollars for K-12, there's not some uniform way that all 50 58 states and the District of Columbia and Guam and the US Virgin Islands and the other 59 territories count it. Here's a list that's become known yearly when I ask for it, as the Holbert 60 spreadsheet, I asked for this first when I was on House Education and what it shows is PPR 61 over here on the left side, and total funding over on the right. Total funding, yep. Because PPR 62 doesn't equate to total funding. For some school districts, the PPR, the per pupil revenue, is 63 close to 100% of the total funding for a given district. For 3 of them, a reporter reminded me 64 just recently, for 3 of them it's just about zero. Why? Because there's 3 school districts that exist 65 where mining, and severance tax, and property taxes are the primary source of funding for those 66 school districts. So when we say we're going to hold harmless those 178 school districts 67 because 30,000 students have gone missing, what does that mean? What does it mean, are we 68 going to hold them harmless for 100% of their funding or just our portion of the funding? We 69 don't know. But, I'm not here to point fingers, I guess I just did it myself but I don't know. 70 Republicans are here to ask the questions, that's one of the reasons we asked the Governor to 71 call a special session last August but that was conveniently dismissed as a political stunt. Well it 72 Page 76 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021

wasn't. These issues, these questions were among those we wanted to have a discussion with 1 and we thought it would be easier to ask the one person who could call a special session, like he 2 did in November and December, than to have a discussion among 100 of us where it takes 3 2/3rd of us to agree and I believe that's never happened in the history of our state. But we're not 4 here to blame or accuse, now we're dealing with these questions. So what's the answer to that, 5 what do we mean when we say hold those districts harmless? If anyone in the press would like 6 to see the spreadsheet just stop by the Minority office we've offered it to you for years, you can 7 have it now and a new updated version is being worked on. 8 9 I've been asked many times, what about our priorities, and that's frustrating. Being in the 10 Minority, the Constitutional math, you all know this, the public doesn't always remember this: 11 the Majority, you can pass whatever bill you want to and we don't even need to show up. We 12 will show up, but to the constituents out there in Colorado, who will inevitably start emailing, 13 calling or asking questions in face to face meetings "why do you lack the backbone to deny 14 quorum? Don't show up, refuse to vote." That works in some state legislatures, it doesn't work 15 in this one. Our Constitution defines the quorum requirement, how many people need to be in 16 the chamber as a simple majority and the math right now is, the Majority has 20 members and 17 the Minority has 15. A simple majority in this chamber is 18 so, if the 15 of us go to Wyoming 18 and refuse to come to the Capitol and refuse to vote, you all can start business on your own and 19 pass any bill you want to just as you can when we're here. So, to the people of Colorado, when 20 we disagree on things we will be here at this mic. We will speak as long as we possibly can to 21 the bill because we can't filibuster in Colorado we have to actually speak to the bill but we will 22 put our best effort forward to draw out that conversation, to make the points. But, don't be 23 surprised, over the next 116 days and 120 next year, we'll probably see a lot of decisions made 24 on a vote of, oh give or take a few 20-15. Surprising to anyone here? No. 25 26 As the Minority, we're not here just to fight. We're not. And we saw that in the Special Session, 27 but as members of the Minority we call upon you Mr. President, Mr. Majority Leader, members 28 of the Majority, we are encouraged by what we think we hear about stimulus spending. We're 29 encouraged by what we think we hear about not spending the stimulus dollars until we actually 30 have it because if we start allocating $5 billion with the anticipation of getting them and then 31 we don't, we can't dig our way out of that hole. So we want to be cautious, we're known as 32 conservative, you generally known as liberal. If we can find a way to be a little bit more like us 33 on timing of that, we would be grateful. The Governor's power, we've had a lot of conversation 34 about this. We are not trying to step on the Governor's authority during this declared disaster 35 emergency, during this pandemic. Last year, Senator Lundeen introduced a Concurrent 36 Resolution, it sought to amend the Constitution to have the people weigh in that every 30 days 37 should we come back and have to agree with the Governor, to extend a declared disaster 38 emergency. That died in committee, that's off the table. We understand 30 days is too frequent. 39 And, we're not interested in trying to affect this declared disaster emergency but members, do 40 we have 11 months of experience now that we can draw upon for the future? Yes we do. When 41 the current statutes, when the current legislative rules were drafted, did that have more to do 42 with what happened on September 11, 2001 than a pandemic and wearing masks? Why yes, yes 43 that was an influence. We would like to have a conversation about future prolonged disaster 44 emergencies, we're asking the question. 90 days? 6 months? A year? We're a part time citizen 45 legislature, we're not here 8 months a year. If we're back in this kind of situation in the future, 46 should at some point, we be required to come in and review the situation? For instance, 47 rulemaking. We have a rule review bill every year, hundreds of rules. We the Legislative 48 Branch delegate the authority, the Executive Branch, to make those rules. Apparently there's no 49 such oversight when it comes to Governor's Executive Orders. Did any of you ever anticipate 50 that we would have a Governor issuing over 300 Executive Orders over a year long period? I'll 51 admit if you were to ask me last year I would've said no. Snowstorms, floods, wildfires, 52 fortunately those things don't last that long but now we have this experience. Should we stand 53 up as a Legislative Branch and say yeah, we should come back after 6 months or 9 months or 54 some time period and look at the effect of those rules made by Executive Order. That's not 55 stepping on the man who happens, the authority of the man who happens to sit in the 56 Governor's seat right now, that's asking a future question. 57 58 We as Coloradans, where should our Legislative Branch be in that dynamic? Have you heard 59 from constituents who ask you why you decided to open hair salons at 50% of the posted 60 occupancy, or 10 people, whichever is less? Have you had to explain to them that you didn't 61 make that decision? I have. Have you talked to constituents, maybe people who work at 62 restaurants or bars or breweries, why did we cap their capacity a certain percentage? We didn't 63 do that. How about the distribution of vaccines. Have you talked to anyone about the plan to 64 distribute the vaccine and why they didn't like it and asked you why you did it that way and 65 then you had to explain you didn't? I'm not here to blame Governor Polis and his administration 66 I'm saying that our, the people who will sit in our seats in the future, if they are faced with a 67 pandemic, let's not put them in the same situation, let's give them some ability to respond as a 68 Legislative Branch. 69 70 Finally Mr. President. I think that what we seek as the Minority caucus is to get Government 71 out of the way. I can't wait, I cannot wait to be at an Avs game. I'm a hockey fan first, Broncos 72 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021 Page 77

are awesome but I love hockey. To be back at now what is Ball arena to watch the Avs with a 1 full arena without these on, maybe spill a beer on each other yelling and screaming. I can't wait 2 to be back in that environment, but we're not there yet. Senate Republicans are not asking for 3 more government, not asking for government to continue to tell the people of Colorado what 4 they can't do. But we're here to do is find ways that we can get beyond this pandemic, beyond 5 Covid-19. I agree with you Mr. President we will find a way that this will be in the past. The 6 first step is getting our kids back into face to face live teaching in school. That will allow 7 parents, especially single parents, to get back to work. And then when people can get back to 8 work, employers can start hiring, can get people back into their offices, back into those work 9 places. Our world I think will change permanently. Remote participation, that's going to be a 10 bigger deal. We'll probably see our lease obligation for the state go down. I've heard the 11 Governor estimate maybe 20-30%. Hey, there's more dollars for education. Senate Republicans 12 are looking forward to the opportunity to work together on these things but just to start where I 13 ended or end where I started excuse me, the other way around. Want to be very careful that we 14 don't start over promising and under delivering. If there's 5 billion dollars Federal coming, they 15 can deficit spend and they do. We can't. If there's one blessing that I've found over the past 11 16 months in this pandemic, it is the opportunity to explain to constituents how their state 17 legislature is so different from the one out in Washington D.C. I explain to people that we have 18 one bill we have to pass by the Constitution every year and that's the budget and the budget 19 must be balanced. And the most frequent follow up question is "what's the deficit?" Let me 20 explain what balance means, no offense bosses. It's so different and I wish the press would 21 write about it more so people will say wow I live in a state that doesn't carry long term debt like 22 that, we don't have deficit spending, we can't borrow. But if Congress decides to do this $1.9 or 23 $2 trillion stimulus and there's $5 billion coming, we're going to have a lot to do. What we're 24 asking is let's restore the cuts that had to made last spring before we find new ways to spend 25 money. Does that mean we don't care about people getting back to work? No we do. I think the 26 best thing we can do is get the schools back open, found them adequately, maybe even cut into 27 that negative factor. But let's restore where we cut first before we imagine new ways to spend 28 money. Mr. President, we did it during the special session, I think we showed again during the 29 first 3 days of this session, as we venture into day 4 with 116 left, we can get this done. Mr. 30 President, let's get to work. Thank you. 31 ______32 33 Senate reconvened. 34 ______35 36 On motion of Majority Leader Fenberg and with unanimous consent of the Senate, the above 37 remarks were ordered spread upon the pages of the journal. 38 ______39 40 ______41 42 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR 43 44 45 Appointment Letters of designation and appointment from Governor Jared Polis were read and 46 assigned to committees as follows: 47 48 December 4, 2020 49 50 To the Honorable 51 Colorado Senate 52 Colorado General Assembly 53 State Capitol Building 54 Denver, CO 80203 55 56 Ladies and Gentlemen: 57 58 Pursuant to the powers conferred upon me by the Constitution and Laws of the State of 59 Colorado, I have the honor to designate, appoint, reappoint, and submit to your consideration, 60 the following: 61 62 MEMBER OF THE 63 TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION 64 65 for a term expiring July 1, 2023: 66 67 Elizabeth Hickey, JD of Colorado Springs, Colorado, to serve as a commissioner from the 68 Ninth Transportation District, and occasioned by the resignation of Irving Halter of Colorado 69 Springs, Colorado, appointed. 70 71 Sincerely, 72 Page 78 Senate Journal-4th Day-February 16, 2021
