The very last bill to be voted on in Colorado’s 2022 legislative session was designed to make sure the state never lets another child experience what Lorenzo Montoya went through.
Each of these bills, among many others, was subject to lengthy debate. The longer the session dragged on, the greater opening Republicans had to stall on all kinds of bills — even minor ones they supported — in order to slow the session’s progress and thus to slow Democratic priorities. That project began midway through the session buton Monday, May 9, the third-to-last day before closing.
The House delays stretched for almost a full day, until around 4 a.m. Tuesday, when the House speaker, Denver Democrat Alec Garnett, agreed to a series of concessions so that Republicans would drop the stall. That’s “outrageous,” Garnett told The Denver Post, insisting he hadn’t acted over the heads of Gonzales-Gutierrez and Bacon.Rep. Hugh McKean, left, talks with Alec Garnett, speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, at the Colorado State House Chamber in Denver on Tuesday, May 10, 2022.
Taking that nuclear option would not only mean bucking tradition but also going back on a part of the 4 a.m. deal Garnett had made with Republicans.“I told , you guys can do whatever you want, but I’m not calling the question. I did say that they could debate the bill, but I didn’t feel like it was appropriate to call the question to end debate in the last hour of the session.”
