DENVER — Colorado lawmakers will spend the final days of this year’s legislative session considering a major climate deal reached between two groups that rarely agree.But Colorado Gov. Jared Polis says both groups were able to put their differences aside and work with his office and lawmakers to reach a major agreement.
“Two areas that are very important to mitigate the impact of oil and gas product in our state,” Fenberg said. “This is something that we think is a reasonable approach.” Another key part of the deal: legislation introduced earlier this year calling for tougher oil and gas regulations will not move forward and both sides have agreed to scrap their ballot initiatives.
The Colorado Chamber, which had strongly criticized environmental legislation that was introduced earlier this year by Democratic lawmakers, released a statement in support of the new deal.
