A controversial package of Democratic gun control bills cleared the Colorado House Monday. The measures now head to the state Senate.

Governor John Hickenlooper has been criticized for telling members of Congress last week that he once drank flack fluid. The governor was touting the state as a model for balanced energy rules.

Four Democratic gun control bills are on the docket for State lawmakers to debate Friday. It’s a debate that is expected to go late into the night.

Despite new regulatory rules, Democratic leaders at the statehouse hope to introduce bills of their own dealing with the impacts of hydraulic fracturing.

As the Republican Party licks its wounds after a tough election cycle, some Colorado lawmakers are hoping a bill to give illegal immigrants in-state college tuition will help bridge the gap with Latino voters.
