The end of the Colorado legislative session came Wendsday, with no major last-minute deals and no major standoffs on pivotal policies. The Denver Post reports lawmakers in the House and Senate plugged away with some final formal votes, in between lengthy and teary tributes to the members who are term-limited or otherwise not returning to the Capitol. Its halls, which in years past have taken on a party-like atmosphere as lawmakers and lobbyists celebrate the end of the session, were quiet and nearly empty by midday. Both chambers adjourned shortly after 7:15 p.m.
