Building measures face vote

Senate backs curbing defect lawsuits
Homeowners at Rivergate Lofts, south of downtown Durango, won a $26.4 million settlement in 2011 after it was determined there were significant stabilization and support problems associated with defective construction. The state Senate gave initial approval to a measure that would make it more difficult to sue over construction defects, but the bill now faces an uphill battle in the Democratic-controlled House.
