More than two weeks has passed since Governor John Hickenlooper called a special legislative session on the issue of civil unions.

Now that the dust has settled, KUNC’s state capitol reporter Bente Birkeland sat down with the Governor to look back at how the civil unions bill was handled, and whether he regrets his unusual decision to call a special session.

Bente Birkeland has been reporting on state legislative issues for KUNC and Rocky Mountain Community Radio since 2006. Originally, from Minnesota, Bente likes to hike and ski in her spare time. She keeps track of state politics throughout the year but is especially busy during the annual legislative session from January through early May.
