House Republicans call on Weiser to enforce propositions
(The Center Square) - Colorado Republicans are calling on Gov.-elect Phil Weiser to enforce voter-approved propositions concerning transgender students’ participation in girls' sports, gender-changing surgeries for minors, and increased penalties for fentanyl crimes and the sex trafficking of a minor. All four propositions passed in the Nov. 3 general election. But Weiser told the media in a post-election interview that the measures would need a “long, hard look” before they are implemented. The Colorado House Republican Caucus this week released a statement , accusing Weiser, who's a Democrat and is currently the state attorney general, and the Democrats controlling House and Senate of undermining “the will of the voters." After the Nov. 3 general election, Democrats saw their legislative majorities become supermajorities. “Weiser and other Democrat lawmakers have already begun exploring efforts to change or even override these measures," the House Republicans said. “These comments raise deep concerns that the voice of the people will be disregarded by the incoming Democrat leadership.” "If the Democrats truly believe there should be ‘No Kings’ in America, it is time they take their own advice," the Republicans said. The Center Square reached out to the Colorado House Republican Caucus, which declined to comment
