Colo. lawmakers hammer away at redistricting
Colorado lawmakers are plowing ahead with plans to debate congressional redistricting, despite a lack of agreement on how they will handle it.
GOP House Speaker Frank McNulty said the House took up the GOP map on Monday, and Democratic Senate Majority Leader John Morse told colleagues to be ready to debate a competing plan that day.
They have until Wednesday to reach an agreement. After that, the legislature could be called into special session or the issue could be left to the courts to decide.
Lawmakers are required to draw news congressional lines every 10 years after a census, but redistricting is politically charged as both parties try to maximize their chances.

Girlfriend turns in Ho-Hum bank robbery suspect
Investigators say a man suspected in bank robberies in four Western states was turned in by his girlfriend after a failed attempt to win her back.
The Denver Post reports that Adam Lynch confessed to being the so-called "Ho-Hum bandit" to his girlfriend, Julia Lundstrom, at an Irish bar in downtown Denver.
Jefferson County sheriff's investigator Tom Acierno told the newspaper the relationship was unraveling and they met as Lynch tried to win the woman back.
Lynch reportedly owed Lundstrom more than $11,000 and explained that recent deposits into her bank account came from the sale of stocks and bonds. She didn't buy it and Lynch reportedly confessed to the bank robberies in an effort to come clean.
The FBI believes Lynch hit banks in Denver, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle and Cheyenne, Wyo.
