Greetings all!

The 2009 legislative session has been off to a great start down here at the Capitol. While our state faces some tremendous challenges this year, it has been inspiring to see so many citizens and legislators come together to try and find solutions to our various economic, environmental, and transportation challenges.

On that note, I have been working on some much needed legislation this session - particularly to deal with our transportation and forest health crises. We're hard at work down at the Capitol developing a bill that would infuse our state with needed dollars to help fix our badly decaying transportation infrastructure. We need to fix dangerous roads and bridges now, and I'm working hard to make sure we do.

Along with transportation, I am working on a host of bills that would bring needed dollars and support to fighting fires in Colorado. It is critical that we provide communities with the resources, tools, and guidelines needed to effectively protect lives and property.

For those wishing to peruse bills or search for particular legislation, I recommend check the Colorado General Assembly website: http://www.leg.state.co.us/. There you can find calendars for upcoming committees and floor work, search for bills, and find contact information for legislators around the capitol.

Finally, I will be holding a series of town hall meetings throughout my district and I would encourage everyone to periodically check this website for upcoming dates and times in their area. I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all throughout the session!

Best wishes,

Dan
