COFPI's continued efforts to spread the word about how getting rid of the 6% formula will maximize federal stimulus dollars and strengthe Colorado's fiscal future are paying off. The idea is gaining momentum, slowly but surely.
This past weekend, the Denver Post featured an online guest commentary from CCLP Executive Director Maureen Farrell-Stevenson and COFPI Program Director Kathy White, which highlighted the need to eliminate the 6%. Today, the Post had a great article outlining how the 6% Arveschoug-Bird formula is hampering Colorado.
And this afternoon, in a packed meeting room, COFPI hosted more than 60 advocates and policymakers for brief educational forum about how eliminating the 6% general fund appropriations directive would help maximize federal stimulus dollars and strengthen Colorado's fiscal future.
