The backers of two competing proposals to come up with the roughly $12 million needed to fix the rusting Capitol dome say they’ve reached a truce and found a way for both pieces of legislation to work together, The Denver Post reports.

A compromise crafted in a bill by Sen. Mike Kopp, R-Littleton, would tap $4 million from the State Historical Fund in the first year, then rely on private fundraising for two years. Anything less than $4 million in private funds raised in those last two years would be backfilled by the historical fund.

“Both of us realized that the specter of both our bills dying was real, and that if they did, the dome would remain unfixed,” Kopp said.
