UPDATE #2: FOX 31’s Eli Stokols reports that GOP Sens. Larry Crowder, Owen Hill, and yes, Greg Brophy will vote in favor of the ASSET bill.

UPDATE: GOP freshman Sen. Larry Crowder calls Colorado ASSET a “conservative bill,” expresses his support for the legislation saying “we look at things different in Southern Colorado.”

Because we like to keep our readers informed when things are likely to get nutty at the Colorado Capitol, AP reports via the Fort Collins Coloradoan:
The Democratic Senate has approved lowered tuition rates for the illegal immigrants before. This year’s bill faces better prospects because the House is now in Democratic hands, and the Democratic governor supports the proposal.
The bill allows students at state colleges to receive in-state tuition rates, regardless of their immigration status.
We’ll update through the day with coverage and statements. Watch the debate live here:

Perfect. A whole new generation of Hispanic voters for the GOP to alienate!
Ted Harvey and Scott Renfroe are their usual classy selves.
Brophy's not a surprise; he's been saying he was reconsidering his position for more than a month.
During the governor's state of the state address, when Hick asked the legislature to pass ASSET, Brophy quietly applauded, although Crowder stood up with the rest of the Dems (Brophy was on the platform committee).
