The Denver Post: After nearly eight years working with Gov. Jared Polis, Colorado lawmakers are looking to reset their relationship with the governor’s office — and require future governors to be more transparent in how they exert influence over the legislative process.

They just have to get past Polis first.

Ninety-two of the Capitol’s 100 legislators voted for Senate Bill 147, which is now headed for an almost-certain veto by the term-limited governor. Among other things, the bill would require state employees who work as lobbyists for the governor and lieutenant governor to formally register with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office and disclose their positions on bills — just as private lobbyists are required to do.

The bill was proposed as a direct reaction to Polis. Some lawmakers in the Democrat-controlled General Assembly have wanted to bring the bill for years in response to the Democratic governor’s hands-on approach to the legislature, which has included frequent veto threats and direct lobbying to amend bills.
