6 Percent Up in Senate Finance

Today, the 6 percent solution--aka SB 228, aka repealing Arveschoug-Bird--will be heard in the Senate Finance Committee. More than 40 state and local organizations, representing hundreds of thousands of Coloradans, have signed on in support. There's a ton of momentum behind this idea, as getting rid of the 6 percent would allow Colorado to maximize federal recovery dollars, put all priorities on a level playing field, and help Colorado get out of the recession quicker.
