Democrats are fuming after a bill they said would help Coloradans avoid foreclosures died Wednesday on a party-line vote.
House Bill 1136, by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, would have bolstered housing counseling and foreclosure-prevention services for families trying to keep their homes.
Although it passed two other committees with bipartisan support, the bill died 7-6 in the Appropriations Committee, with every Republican voting “no.”
“This sends a pretty clear message to Colorado’s families: We know you’re struggling, and, frankly, we don’t care,” Williams said.
