DENVER (KDVR) — The fates of many of the controversial bills from this year's Colorado legislative session were decided before this final week, with the session to end on May 8.A major piece of legislation that changed yet again during the final week is the land use bill.

Iman Jodeh, D-Aurora, said at a news conference announcing the changes on Tuesday.Everyone seems to agree on the issue: Colorado...
