Colorado State Senator Rollie Heath (D - Boulder and vicinity) and State Representative Jonathan Singer (D - Longmont and vicinity) were in Lyons last week (Wednesday, February 27) to hold a “Town Hall” meeting at The Stone Cup. About two-dozen area residents showed up to listen to what their elected officials were up to during the current legislative session, and to tell the gentlemen what issues were on their minds.
Heath and Singer both talked about the importance of education and the funding for it, and how the education of the State’s youth is connected to economic development and growth. Citing TABOR and other laws that limit taxation and thus funding for things such as education, both men cited states such as Mississippi and Louisiana as the only reason Colorado wasn’t last in the nation in per student funding.
