Health care reform, as well as education and immigration concerns, held center stage at a town hall meeting conducted by Colorado Sen. Tim Neville, R-Littleton, and State Rep. Tim Leonard, R-Evegreen, last Friday at Evergreen Fire/Rescue’s Station 2.
Drawing a crowd of about two dozen people, the legislators gave an overview of the legislative process before highlighting key bills they supported in the most recent legislative session, which adjourned May 10.
Among the topics that drew the greatest response from community members were concerns over liability for Public Employees’ Retirement Association (PERA) pensions, free speech on campus, sanctuary cities, and the ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act and its proposed replacements.
