Colorado Republicans To Hold Own Hearing On Budget

DENVER (AP) - Colorado Republican state lawmakers are holding their own hearing on the state budget.

The Republican Study Committee of Colorado is holding a meeting Monday. The group has invited conservatives, including state Treasurer Walker Stapleton, to offer their suggestions on ways the legislature can make nearly $700 million in cuts.

The committee has no legislative power and is not an official legislative committee.
