DENVER - Lawmakers are continuing their debate over the state budget, with Republicans trying to stop Democrats from collecting $118 million from taxpayers by freezing mill levies for homeowners.

Republicans claim it represents a tax increase over the next five years that should go to the voters. Democrats say homeowners in 38 school districts this year would see a tax cut.

The budget faces a final vote Thursday before it goes to the Senate.
