DescriptionA day after Colorado House Republican leaders killed a measure to legalize civil unions, Governor John Hickenlooper on Wednesday called for a special legislative session.

“We need to have an open discussion of the issue and at least work toward a final resolution,” Gov. Hickenlooper said. “We (will) allow people a chance to vote on it, and we move forward.”

When GOP leadership halted debate Tuesday night in order to prevent a vote on the civil unions bill, they effectively killed 30 other bills scheduled to be debated.
