STOP the $1,000,000 fence around the Colorado State Capitol

The Issue

The Colorado Legislature is considering allocating about $1 million toward permanent fencing around most of the state Capitol building in downtown Denver in response to vandalism during protests last year, a newspaper reported.

The funding comes from an $8 million budget allotment for Capitol construction, spending described in public budget documents as security upgrades. Enhancements include bulletproofing windows, new security cameras and fortified doors. - Source: https://apnews.com/article/legislature-fencing-denver-colorado-vandalism-823ba19de0710f6a921b5f5251a5f92e

Colorado is ranked 47th in education funding, lacks support for those experiencing homelessness, and crumbling infrastructure. The LAST thing we need to spend $1,000,000.00 on is a "fence" around the peoples house!
