2021 C&B Report
Fate of Proposals on Floor
Constitution and Bylaws
There were nearly two complete competing reports: one from the official committee and one from a member-formed committee. One of the issues on the floor was the order in which these proposals would be heard with the Convention Committee and the Convention Chair giving priority to the official committee. The member committee protested and won a vote of the delegates for what they considered a more equitable distribution.
Up until this convention, the Libertarian Party of Colorado had a separate Constitution and Bylaws. At the Colorado Convention 2019, the delegates directed the future committee to propose a merge of the two documents. This did not happen in 2020, and it was not proposed by the official committee. The member committee submitted a proposed merge which passed.
Platform
The delegates elected pass all but one of the committee's proposals in one vote with one proposal exempted for further debate which was passed with amendment. The member submissions also passed, with the Harlos proposal for the "Plain Language" proposal being accepted over the Hayman proposal. As has become tradition, there was joke proposal in the committee report, this year to build a wall along the western slope of Colorado and forcing California to pay for it under the title "Colorado's Bigly Wall."
