Scott Franz/Capitol CoverageAmendment 78 would give state lawmakers more power over spending decisions, including how to spend emergency aid from the federal government. Colorado Republicans spent this past legislative session trying to strip Gov. Jared Polis of the broad emergency powers he has been using to lead the state through the pandemic. The effort did not gain any traction in a Capitol dominated by Polis’ fellow Democrats.
Amendment 78 is a new, conservative-led effort to make the executive branch a little less powerful by giving state lawmakers more control over emergency spending.
It also aims to give the Colorado legislature final say in other spending decisions that are currently handled by the governor and other branches of government.
Supporters point to an incident last spring as the reason such a change is needed.
On May 18, with a stroke of a pen and an evening email, Polis announced he was signing an executive order spending $1 billion of federal coronavirus relief on the state’s public schools.
The sudden announcement enraged Republican lawmakers, and even annoyed some Democrats, who felt they should have a say in how to spend so much money. People pushing Amendment 78 still haven’t gotten over it.

The University of Colorado regent, who is the only Republican official who holds statewide office, was expected to formally announce her bid Tuesday

(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey) Republican Heidi Ganahl on Friday formed a candidate committee to run for governor of Colorado in 2022, confirming months of speculation that she would launch a bid to lead the state.The University of Colorado regent, who is the only Republican official who holds statewide office, was expected to formally announce her bid next week.
“It’s time to fight for our Colorado way of life we love,” Ganahl said in a written statement to The Colorado Sun. “Coloradans agree. Look at the latest polls. For the first time in more than a decade, Colorado voters think we’re on the wrong track. Stay tuned on Tuesday for more.”
Ganahl was elected as an at-large member of the board of regents in 2016, beating Democrat Alice Madden by 1 percentage point. She outperformed former President Donald Trump in the state by 8 percentage points that year.
Ganahl, should she be selected as the GOP nominee, will face Democratic Gov. Jared Polis in next year’s election.
Polis easily won election to his first term in 2018 after pouring more than $23 million of his own fortune into his campaign. Republican strategists agree that any bid to unseat the incumbent will likely be a long shot.

Masks will be required in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county schools for those under 12
Should any of those individual counties opt out of the requirement, it would be up to school districts to decide whether to follow the order
Outside Tri-County Health Department’s administrative office at 6162 S. Willow Drive in Greenwood Village. The agency serves more than 1.5 million people in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. (Ellis Arnold, Colorado Community Media) This story was originally published by Chalkbeat Colorado. More at chalkbeat.org.
Public health officials for Tri-County, representing three suburban Denver counties, voted Tuesday to require students aged 2 to 11 to wear masks in schools. Staff who work with these students must also wear masks.
The motion, which the Tri-County Board of Health passed in a split vote following heated public comment, directs the agency to write the mask mandate to take effect by Aug. 23. Tri-County comprises Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties. Should any of those individual counties opt out of the requirement, it would be up to school districts to decide whether to follow the order.
Dr. Thomas Fawell, the Board of Health member who presented the motion that passed, said that while he understands that federal guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups recommend universal masking in schools, local data is less worrisome than in other areas of the country where COVID-19 vaccination rates remain low.
“While we do have an increase in cases, which puts us in what they have termed a high transmission area, our cases and our transmission don’t equal hospitalizations or deaths,” Fawell said.
Tri-County covers 15 school districts surrounding Denver, all with varying mask policies. In response to Tri-County considering a mandate, the Adams 12, Aurora, and Cherry Creek districts all strengthened their mask requirements related to younger children but did not require them for all students and staff.
