“There’s a risk of greater uncertainty, and we need to prepare for that.”
Gov. Jared Polis unveiled a budget proposal Tuesday he described as “preparing for an uncertain future” — while also acknowledging there’s still an election and updated forecasts to come.
He also noted money for workforce housing on state lands, money to hire prosecutors to combat vehicle thefts, grants to secure schools, money for water, and money set aside as matching funds for federal infrastructure grants. On the latter point, Polis said he hopes to get “more than our fair share.”
“This budget should frighten all Colorado families who are struggling to make ends meet in the face of an impending recession,” Ganahl said in the statement that blasted the increase to the budget. “You never hear Polis talk about cutting spending. When will enough be enough? Did Coloradans struggling to make ends meet see a 7% increase in their budgets? More government spending makes me even more curious about what is not being spent wisely in the first place.
“Certainly there’s more work for us to do as a legislature,” McCluskie said. “I’ll be eager to receive the December forecast, and, as we move into the next session, being able to see what the legislature can do with these numbers. But for today, it’s a good starting point for us.”
