Decent Bill Name

The best example I’ve seen thus far in the CO legislative session of naming a bill well: The B.E.S.T. (Building Excellent Schools Today) plan – House Bill 1335 (authored by Rep. Andrew Romanoff)– will address health and safety issues by providing funds to rebuild, repair or replace our most dangerous and most needy K-12 facilities. The BEST plan calls for a statewide needs assessment, an expert-guided process for the selection of schools and projects, and leveraging up to $1 billion in funds without raising taxes or fees.

Now, it’s not immediately clear from the bill’s acronym what BEST is all about, but it’s a much better title than most others I’ve seen this year.
