[Colorado] Gov. Owens might oppose Supreme Court's pro-illegal immigration decision

DENVER - Gov. Bill Owens said Tuesday that he's likely to order the Legislature's return to the Capitol this summer unless the Colorado Supreme Court backs down from its Monday decision barring an anti-illegal-immigration initiative from November's state ballot.

Owens supports the proposed ballot measure to prohibit state and local government agencies from providing many non-emergency services to anyone who is not in this country legally.
He said: "In my opinion, the court's decision was inconsistent, it was inappropriate and, yes, I even believe it was arrogant... I urge the state Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling. But if that doesn't happen, it is likely that I will be bringing lawmakers back to the Capitol this summer..."
