Democratic state lawmakers on Tuesday unveiled the results of a survey they use to help decide the fate of dozens of bills competing against each other for state funding. Thanks to a recent lawsuit, there's something different about it this year. For the first time since the survey was introduced to the Capitol in 2019, lawmakers’ votes aren’t being kept secret.

Libertarian activist and businessman Jon Caldara has filed a ballot initiative to repeal Senate Bill 157, which allows lawmakers to have more conversations in private.

KUNC News has discovered more than 16,000 state checkbook entries in the last year missing the names of the people or businesses who received the taxpayer money listed there. Instead, there are generic codes in the spaces where those vendors' names are supposed to be.

In his ruling, Judge David Goldberg said “the public has the right to know” how individual lawmakers vote to prioritize bills and that the so-called quadratic voting system at the Capitol violates Colorado’s Open Meetings Law.

The leaders of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition on Thursday sent Democratic lawmakers a letter saying their system known as quadratic voting violates the state’s sunshine laws and “deprives the public of its right to observe important decision making — in real time.”
