Statement

Date: May 10, 2018
Location: Denver, CO
Issues: Government Budget and Spending Legislative Branch

Gov. Hickenlooper released the following statement as legislators wrapped up the 2018 General Assembly.

"A mere 120 days ago, we shared our vision for Colorado's future. We wanted to secure investments in transportation, fund rural broadband, support our teachers and students, invest more resources to combat the opioid epidemic, and fund the compromises to address the ailing public employees retirement fund (PERA).

"As we close my last session as governor, I am proud to be part of the collaboration that has come to define Colorado. Our efforts will result in a stronger Colorado. We have secured the future of the Civil Rights Commission, of conservation easements and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), and funding for the General Reserve. I want to thank Colorado's legislators for putting their love of Colorado over politics. One last time for our last session: giddy up!"
