Colorado gov nixes 'visitability
Visitability advocates' efforts to get Colorado to adopt visitability in new homes built with public money met defeat at the hands of Gov. Bill Owens last month, and advocates are worried about a "visitability backlash."
The arch-conservative Republican governor, in his veto message, called the bill "fatally flawed because sit seeks to micromanage the affordable housing market.... the homes would have to be built to the accessibility specifications required in the bill, whether the owners desired it or not."
