[Colorado-Talk] HB26-1043

[Dan Burke]

I should add a thank-you to everyone who took the time to contact members
of the House Appropriations Committee over the past couple of weeks. These
efforts make a difference collectively.


And my acknowledgement to Andrea Brandies for reminding  me to thank all of
you! (smile)

Forward together!
Dan
