Lawmakers Overcome Budget Stumbling Block

KUNC

After a heated debate over proposed cuts to state agencies, lawmakers on the joint budget reached a compromise on Thursday. 

The committee is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, and is pushing up against a deadline to introduce the budget next week. KUNC's State Capitol Reporter Bente Birkeland has more. 

Bente Birkeland is an award-winning journalist who joined Colorado Public Radio in August 2018 after a decade of reporting on the Colorado state capitol for the Rocky Mountain Community Radio collaborative and KUNC. In 2017, Bente was named Colorado Journalist of the Year by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and she was awarded with a National Investigative Reporting Award by SPJ a year later.
