Senate Republicans prevailed in tacking an amendment on accountability to one of the 36 bills introduced on the Colorado Recovery Plan that they say will help address conflict-of-interest questions on the Clean Energy Fund.
Senate Bill 230 would send $40 million in general funds part of the $800 million left over from the 2020-21 budget year to the Colorado Energy Office. The office would then send $30 million to its former chief operating officer, who now runs the Colorado Clean Energy Fund, which he set up while he was still in the state energy office.
The action has led to Republican accusations that the $30 million is a sweetheart deal for the office s former COO, Paul Scharfenberger.
