From the Pueblo Chieftain (May 25, 2013):
Giron called the legislation gratifying because it helps both the homeless and Bent County. “It was incredible to see the community support today,” she said. “They’ve opened their arms to the most vulnerable in our society.”
Crowder, a veterans services officer in Alamosa, said the legislation seemed to be headed to defeat until it was revived by Giron and House supporters as part of SB210.
“Senator Giron deserves a lot of credit for getting the votes in the Senate,” he said. “But we had to have this program for our veterans.”
