Colorado Democrats are eliminating secrecy from a survey they use to help decide the fate of bills

KUNC: Democratic state lawmakers announced Tuesday they’re taking the secrecy out of a survey they previously filled out anonymously to help decide which bills should live or die.

Under the new system, Democrats who participate will still go online to select the top bills they think should get a piece of the state’s budget. But once the survey closes, the results will be publicized and lawmakers’ individual preferences will be revealed.

The change to make all parts of the survey public comes months after a judge ordered lawmakers to stop using their previous secret ballot system to prioritize legislation because it violated Colorado’s open meetings law.
