DENVER — In a time when politics can come across contentious and divided, Colorado's Senate Republicans added a touch of levity to the state capitol Wednesday — as the lawmakers closed out the 2024 legislative session.
"For 120 days, we live under the gold dome. We get mad at each other, we get furious, we debate the most serious topics facing the people of Colorado. And then at the end of it all, we finally just let loose and all get together. We all have fun. And drop the rubber band balls from the top of the gold dome all the way down to the rotunda," Sen. Kevin Van Winkle, R-Douglas County, said.Video of the rubber band ball drop courtesy of the Senate Republicans.
In the more than a decade's worth of ball drops, there have been a fair share of twists and turns with the Republican's ball getting stolen one year and even a little — redecorating, shall we say — another year.
