Bobby: Get your facts straight!! SB07-164 is "A Bill for an Act Concerning a Supplemental Appropriation to the Department of Higher Education."
The reference you cite is on page 22 not 44. The specific line item is contained under "(10) State Historical Society, (A) Cumbres and Toltec, Railroad Commission" Where are the "members of the Friends" being enriched?
By the way, the ENTIRE C&TS is a living museum! The $ total for this bill is $2,345,558,398.
SB07-181: Here the reference you cite is on page 44, not 22! Perhaps you missed footnote "b" which says that of the $4,000,000. only $ 1,350,000. is coming from the Capital Construction fund. The rest, $2,650,000.(footnote b) is made up of $ 1,350,000. from New Mexico and $ 1,300,000. from gifts, grants and donations. As with the first bill, this line item is contained under the heading of the Colorado Historical Society.
This bill, SB07-181 is "A Bill for an Act Concerning Funding for Capital Construction, and Making Supplemental Appropriations in Connection Therewith."
