Colorado: We Are Truly On Our Own
Floyd Ciruli, Denver Gazette
The Donald Trump fiscal revolution is here to stay. With the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and a series of Supreme Court rulings on workforce reductions, limits on federal district court injunctions, and allowing withholding of funds for various grants, the federal role in state and local finances is substantially reduced and unlikely to be reversed. The impact of the reductions is just starting to be felt at the state level.
As Colorado state government faces a $1 billion deficit due to changes in federal tax law and Medicaid funding from H.R.I (One Big Beautiful Bill), the message We Are On Our Own is even more applicable.
