DENVER | It’s another session ending for Colorado lawmakers, and they finish Wednesday with little to show for returning to work.

The Legislature convened its first special session since 2006 just two days ago. Lawmakers were called back to Denver by Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who wanted them to reconsider a civil unions measure for same-sex couples.

But the civil unions proposal failed in a Republican House committee, and many of the additional bills Hickenlooper asked lawmakers to consider perished, too.

The Senate rejected a proposal to set a blood marijuana limit for drivers. And a bill to benefit corporations died in the House.

Lawmakers were poised to admit defeat on some of those priorities, and finish work on two remaining proposals before leaving the Capitol Wednesday afternoon.
