Colorado House Democrats Vote for $4 Million Slush Fund for Governor to Fight Trump amid Fears of Federal Funding Losses

This year, Colorado has seen some of the most extreme legislation in recent memory.

From attempts to abolish the Second Amendment, to repealing our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, the current group of Colorado Legislators are pushing an extreme far-left agenda.

And with the new Trump Administration in Washington, there are real concerns that Colorado could lose Federal Tax Dollars due to the State’s extremism.

So, the Democrats in the State House have passed a bill to give the Governor’s Office $4 million to be used in legal fights against the Trump Administration.

This is in a year where our State is facing a $1 billion budget shortfall, due to the excessive spending of these legislators.

This $4 million in taxpayer money will be taken from the “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Cash Fund,” and the Governor will be able to use this money with no accountability.

In this short video, Brandon highlights this horrible bill and plays Rep. Ken DeGraaf’s floor speech where he outlines arguments against this abuse of taxpayer funds.
