DENVER -- Coloradans fed up with what they call an "invasion" of their state say they will push for a ballot initiative after a legislative panel killed a bill that would have denied state services to illegal immigrants.
A House legislative committee defeated the bill 6-5 Tuesday in a straight party-line vote, with the Democrats voting against the proposal and the Republicans voting for it.
Undeterred, bill sponsor Republican Rep. David Schultheis said he would try another tactic: submitting the same proposal in the form of a concurrent resolution which, if passed by both legislative houses, would put the proposal before the voters in the form of a ballot referendum.
