Legislators emphasize respect

While Jefferson County’s two legislators concentrated on describing their own bills and those of their colleagues working their way through the House and Senate, resident questions tended to focus on partisanship and more controversial pieces of legislation.

Rep. Marta Bertoglio, R-Montana City, and Sen. Edith “Edie” McClafferty, D-Butte, met virtually with residents Sunday night for part two of an ongoing forum sponsored by The Boulder Monitor and the Boulder Transition Advisory Committee.

McClafferty said that her bill that allows for a communication disorder designation to go on driver’s licenses is still going through the process. After transmittal, McClafferty will focus on introducing an EMS study, as well as a bill that deals with EMS fees and language changes.
