The top Republican priority in the 2018 legislative session debuted Tuesday and immediately met resistance from the Democratic governor. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s administration testified against Senate Bill 1, a measure sponsored authored by Senate GOP leaders to spend $350 million in tax dollars to create a transportation bond of up to $3.5 billion. The administration’s envoys from three state agencies testified in a Senate hearing that diverting that much tax dollars indefinitely could squeeze other government services that need money.
