We all know Colorado is a wonderful state in so many ways, unless you need unemployment insurance or food stamps.
In two separate reports out this week, Colorado ranks 51st--that's not a typo--in both timely processing of food stamp applications and in unemployment insurance recipiency, i.e. percentage of eligible unemployed workers receiving their benefits.
The food stamp data is from 2007, which means it doesn't include the drastic increase in food stamp applications in recent months.
We wish we were making this up, but sadly barriers to accessing these critical safety net services do exist. The question is, what's the state going to do about it?
