Well, the legislature is back in session and you know what that means, right? The battle to limit the liability of big corporations resumes!  This year's legislative session opened just yesterday and we already have our first "immunity" bill, and it involves an area of tort liability that I hadn't been aware of until now.  

Sen. Mary Hodge (D-Adams County) has introduced SB 12-035 titled "A Bill for An Act Concerning Limited Liability for Spaceflight Activities."  It appears that the Lockheeds (yeah, those Lockheeds) want Front Range Airport designated as a "Spaceport" by the federal government, and it is located in - you guessed it - Adams County.  I guess the possibility of accidentally killing someone and getting sued is the only thing standing in Lockheed's way.  

One of these days I'll post on all the special interests in Colorado - almost all involving big corporations and business interests - that have been immunized from liability in this state.
