CO Lawmakers Halt Plans for Permanent Fence at Capitol

 

The Colorado Legislature has halted plans to build permanent fencing around most of the state Capitol following criticism from residents.

Lawmakers previously considered allocating more than $1 million to erect a six-foot-tall (1.8-meter-tall), wrought-iron black fence to encircle the building, The Denver Post reported Monday. It was part of an $8 million budget allotment for security upgrades in response to vandalism during protests last year.
