Op-Ed: Maximizing Federal Dollars for Colorado's Unemployed Workers

The Boulder Daily Camera ran an oped today about SB 247, jointly authored by COFPI's Kathy White and 9to5's Linda Meric. The oped highlights how this legislation should be an easy choice for lawmakers, amid a recession-focused legislative session when those are few and far between. It only requires a few simply changes to modernize Colorado's unemployment insurance system that would result in $127.5 million in federal money for unemployed workers.

Makes a lot of sense. So let's do this, people.
