Yesterday’s big news in Colorado was the significantly improved revenue projections delivered to the Joint Budget Committee by Gov. John Hickenlooper’s chief economist Henry Sobanet. As the Pueblo Chieftain’s Patrick Malone reports today: An unexpectedly strong revenue forecast on Tuesday compelled Gov. John Hickenlooper to withdraw his proposal to cut $89 million from K-12 education […]
Seth Klamann of The Denver Post reports on some great news coming out a new budget proposal unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Jared Polis: Gov. Jared Polis proposed fully funding Colorado’s public education system for the first time in 14 years Wednesday, even as he unveiled a budget plan that he said signaled a return to […]
Proposition HH, one of the two statewide measures on the ballot in 2023, has been generating a lot of media coverage lately — in no small part because there’s not much else to really talk about in this election cycle that affects everyone in the state. If you’re unfamiliar with Prop. HH or just need […]

Brittany Pettersen (D-Lakewood) in the battle for the seat being vacated by the retiring Rep. Ed Perlmutter. There are other Republicans in the CO-07 field, including Laurel Imer […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) On this day in 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation to establish the U.S. Department of Agriculture and he later called it “The People’s Department.” Lincoln believed in a robust, agrarian system. Five days later he would sign The Homestead Act, bringing the opportunity of land ownership to over 400,000 families. […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I share the admiration of Abraham Lincoln with a majority of Americans; in surveys conducted since 1940, he has consistently ranked among the top 3, most often #1. Abe was the only president to hold a patent; he signed the first of the Homestead Acts, allowing poor people to obtain land. […]
Readers of Colorado Pols are surely aware that state lawmakers faced a devastating task when they returned to the State Capitol last week: How to cut $3.3 billion from a state budget that was already tighter than Pat Neville’s shirt collar. There were literally tears being shed by members of the Joint Budget Committee because […]
The Colorado legislature re-convened today after a two month coronavirus break, with the main item on the agenda the constitutionally-mandated passage of a balanced state budget. We’ve heard a lot about the gut-wrenching decisions being made by Colorado’s Joint Budget Committee, but not much about how Republican lawmakers are planning to operate in these final […]
