BILLS UP TODAY on our quick-look calendar.

LATE START IN THE HOUSE TODAY: 10 a.m.

DENVER POST USES CIVIL-UNIONS DEFEAT TO CALL OUT MCNULTY. It editorialized: “House Speaker Frank McNulty steamrolled majority opinion Monday and saw to it that a bill legalizing civil unions was killed on the first day of a special legislative session. McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, showed a complete disdain for honesty, spinning a fairy tale whereby Democrats brought the legislature “to a grinding halt” and demanded “that a bill creating same-sex marriage in Colorado be prioritized and forced to the front of the line.”

MCNULTY SAID HICKENLOOPER is the divisive one.

YES, THAT WAS QUARK CO-FOUNDER TIM GILL spotted watching the testimony.

NOT SURE WHETHER THE ANTI-UNIONS RALLY is still on. It’s scheduled for noon on the West Steps.
