twitterColorado Powerball gets a second chance
Thursday, Feb. 10, 2000 | 9:51 a.m.
The Leadville Republican wants to use the $11 million that Colorado would gain by joining multi-state lotteries such as Powerball on school construction. Finding a popular cause like that was enough to revive his proposal in the Senate Business Affairs and Labor Committee on a 6-3 vote Wednesday.
The bill allows multi-state lotteries, which usually have bigger jackpots than Colorado's lottery. Chlouber said he will introduce legislation soon that would allow a statewide vote on whether money from such multi-state lotteries should go to construction of elementary, middle and high schools.
That could help resolve a lawsuit filed by some of the state's poorer school districts, complaining they need more money for school construction and repairs.
