A new Colorado bill that gives the governor broad power to spend dollars from taxpayers against possible actions of the Trump administration authorized a great obstacle this week.
HB25-1321, also known as “support against the federal action of the advertiser”, will allocate $ 4 million from the State Infrastructure Infrastructure Fund as a safeguard against possible federal reprisals on state laws that challenge President Trump’s Executive.
According to the language of the bill, the governor’s office could use the fund to hire lawyers or contractors to respond to federal decisions that affect subsidies, contracts or funds sent to Colorado. It also covers legal costs for any state employment that faces federal investigations or a relationship of demands with its official tariffs.
