Still No Growth Bill In Special Session
Both Parties Unhappy With Other Party's Handling Of Growth Proposals
Colorado lawmakers have ended the first full week of a special session without making any breakthroughs on how to manage Colorado's growing population.
The House finished its work Thursday morning -- giving final approval to nine bills. The Senate delayed until Monday discussion on a Democrat-sponsored comprehensive growth bill.
Both Republicans and Democrats have said that they're unhappy with the way the other side is handling the dispute over growth.
Republicans are the majority in the House, while Democrats hold a one-vote margin in the Senate. That contributed to the stalemate on growth bills during the regular session.
