The legislative session is set by the Constitution and can only be changed by amending it; 2) Even if he shortened the length of the Legislative session he would still get paid for the full 120 days, so he would not save as much money as he says, and to change that also takes an amendment to the Constitution; and that it is illegal for the State to Lend Money and to change that takes an amendment to the Constitution. So basically, everything he has proposed would take a Constitutional Amendment not a Legislative Act, which means he proposes to do no work as a Legislator.

Kevin McCarney seems to have forgotten that the Colorado Constitution has been amended many, many times because it is so easy to do so…
