Lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper are looking at bills to improve Colorado’s ability to mitigate and fight wildfires this legislative session, but some of the most ambitious – and arguably controversial – measures recommended in September by a statewide task force have not been included.

Details in this week's Flume.
