during the 2008 session, romer floated a proposal to charge a toll interstate 70 users traveling to mountain ski resorts during weekend rush hours as a way of reducing congestion; the proposal garnered a strong negative reaction and competing suggestions from members of the public. in response to the feedback, romer proposed a mechanism for citizen participation in a collaborative online bill-drafting process, declaring "i want to have the first wikipedia bill, where the citizens write the bill." romer proceeded to create a website using google groups to solicit public comment and proposals; he later introduced a bill based in part of suggestions received online. the proposal would charge tolls to low-occupancy vehicles during peak hours, and create reversible hov lanes. the bill was denounced by legislators representing the i-70 mountain corridor, and was defeated in a house committee. romer then offered his support to a competing proposal to charge $5 tolls along i-70, which ultimately died for lack of support.
