From The Denver Post:
With a major transportation bill poised to receive its first hearing today at the state legislature, its crafters are still missing something they have long said they sought: bipartisan backing.
The bill, known around the Capitol as FASTER and officially designated Senate Bill 108, is perhaps the most significant bill introduced so far this session. It would raise annual vehicle registration fees in order to put money into fixing Colorado’s dilapidated bridges and highways.
Democrats and Republicans have discussed and negotiated its provisions for weeks, but so far the bill’s only two sponsors are Democrats.
