March 10, 2023: Denver Post: Colorado Republicans’ all-night filibuster sought to stall gun reform, safe drug-use site bills
The gun bill — cast by supporters as an effort to curtail suicides by giving those in crisis a “cooling-off period” — ate up most of the day and evening. Representatives from both parties described personal experience with suicide. Rep. Stephanie Vigil, a Colorado Springs Democrat, said she had attempted to kill herself and that the only reason she hadn’t is because she’d chosen a less-lethal means and was able to stop. While Republicans had said the bill wouldn’t solve the problem, Vigil countered that saying one life would be enough.

Crime is the top concern for most Louisianans this election cycle and many are unhappy with the way the criminal justice system has addressed the problem, a new poll of statewide voters shows.
A bill filed by Rep. Debbie Villio, R-Kenner, would make forfeiture of good time and credits — incentives that allow early release for good behavior — a mandatory penalty for incarcerated people who commit certain transgressions behind bars. Those penalties currently occur at the discretion of prison staff.
Crowley Republican Rep. John Stefanski, a candidate for Attorney General, has filed a bill proposing life imprisonment for people who distribute 28 grams or more of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid that has pushed overdose deaths to record levels in Louisiana and the country.
Rep. Larry Frieman, R-Abita Springs, has filed a bill that would allow judges to revoke parole for people who district attorneys argue are "dangerous offenders." Anyone convicted of a violent crime, sex offense, drug production or terrorism could be deemed a "dangerous offender" under the bill.
