SB21-260 offered the biggest boost to transportation funding the state has seen in decades. It promised $5.4 billion to fix roads and bridges, expand mass transit options and boost air quality.
“They all fall under the threshold of 117. So, we are abiding by the will of voters,” Speaker Alec Garnett told Denver7 on March 19, 2021. The lawsuit was brought on by Americans for Prosperity, Michael Fields, Richard Orman and state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg. “That's what this administration and the leaders in our current legislature have done, is find workarounds over the last number of years on how to get around the people's wishes,” Sonnenberg said.
“I'm a process guy, and if you follow the Constitution, and you pass it in five separate bills instead of one giant omnibus bill, absolutely,” he said.
