By many measures, Colorado is a prosperous state, with a robust economy and relatively high per capita income. Behind that facade, however, is a state that can’t adequately fund a whole swath of basic government functions like K-12 education, higher education, care for older…

Larimer County has suspended childcare enrollment in its CCCAP program. Why? Because they don’t have enough money to support needy families. That’s hard to swallow when Colorado has a (checks notes) $1.7 billion TABOR “surplus.” #copolitics #coleg bit.ly/3w4HAXM

The @EconomicPolicy Institute shared its new family budget calculator today and we took it for a spin. These numbers show the income needed to afford basic necessities in different Colorado locations. The numbers won't be a surprise to families trying to make ends meet.…

A bipartisan task force recommended big changes to the formula that shapes Colorado school funding. It's designed to be more adequate. Simpler. Less regressive. More equitable. And it comes with a sizable price tag: $474 million in FY24-25, plus $64 million to ensure districts…

The idea that Colorado's tax rate is "too high" makes zero sense when we are underfunding schools, transportation, and health care. Our "surplus" is a result of an artificial spending limit that has nothing to do with the adequacy of public funding. #copolitics #coleg @cogov

Further reducing our flat, inadequate, inequitable income tax would spell disaster for public education. It's possible to address the effects of growth and rising property values, but it requires an equitable tax system where the wealthy pay their fair share. #coleg #edcolo

It’s not “full funding” when we haven’t begun to meet our current obligation to COs students and teachers. CO has the least competitive teacher wages in the nation, and teachers can’t afford to live where they work. #coleg #edcolo
