From DenverPost.com:
Just two weeks after the legislature opened with pledges of bipartisanship, the goodwill already has given way to the kind of partisan strife typically reserved for the end of a four-month session.
Underlying all the election-year tension is how to balance the state budget, which is facing a $1.3 billion shortfall in the 2010-11 fiscal year, which begins in July.

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the relationships here in the building that couldn’t be fixed with an economy that generates a couple billion dollars more in revenue,” he said.
