State house Speaker Andrew Romanoff is looking at easing the burden on state funding during downturns due to the effects of Amendment 23. The amendment mandates that state funding for K-12 increase even during poor economic times. This is a direct response to critics of the recently passed Referendum C. Here's an article from the Denver Post on the subject [November 12, 2005, "Dem tinkers with Amend. 23"]. They quote Romanoff as saying, "It's a way to enable our schools to weather economic storms without imperiling other state services. And it's a way, frankly, to concede a point the opposition made."
