Budget

We're as proud as we can be, so we're sending a reminder that our TV special, Colorado: Boom or Bust, will premiere at 8 p.m. Wednesday on Colorado Public Television-Channel 12.

"This is really a kitchen table conversation about Colorado's family budget. What is most important to us? Education, health care and transportation are all part of the discussion. Colorado: Boom or Bust explains in plain language where we're at and how we got there," said Wade Buchanan, president of the Bell Policy Center.

Backpackers have a saying: Leave it better than you found it.

For generations, Coloradans have done exactly that. Ranchers and farmers, rural residents and city-dwellers, businesses large and small, they all dreamed big and invested in themselves and their children's future – in our future.

They built schools, they built colleges, they built hospitals, they built roads through the mountains, they built dams, they irrigated fields, they built parks, they built cities.

They built a great state.
