You can watch the debate live on your TV if you have the Colorado Channel 165 on Comcast cable.

Or, you can watch on line through the Colorado Legislative web site at http://www.leg.state.co.us

2. Town Hall

The townhall for Saturday, March 9, with Reps. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, Perry Buck, R-Windsor, has been rescheduled, due to the forecast of heavy snow in the area. It is now scheduled for March 16 at the Chilson Center in downtown Loveland from 10:00 to 11:15 a.m. All are welcome to attend.
