Denver (KDVR) – legislators can take place with the special legislative session, but work to fill the opening in the state budget for this year continues to obtain the ruler.
The legislators in the state acknowledged a invoice The ruler’s office invites to submit proposals for budget discounts to the joint budget committee before making them. He will have his chance to do this on Thursday.
“I thought it was a wonderful and beautiful special session,” said Andy Bojan, a political analyst Fox31. “Democrats made a clean survey, and I believed that there were certain things that were done important. One: We closed the tax gaps that we talked about for a while.”
“In general, I think this was really: Can we return and raise taxes by $ 250 or 300 million dollars, and we do not really allow people to see all the relief that he will see in another way after the federal bill has passed?” Michael Fields, a Fox31 political analyst, said.
A governor assigned to reduce $ 500 million
Political analysts and both sides of the Capitol have different views about the special legislative session. The state lawmakers acknowledged about $ 300 million in tax -related measures, and ended some tax exemptions for high -density companies to create more state revenues.
Now, the governor is assigned to find $ 500 million of budget cuts and funds from state reserve funds. There is no word about what his office is planning exactly, but the Fox31 analysts agree: there may be some pain.
“It can be, as I mentioned, hard.
“I think you will see a reduction in some of the Midikid provider prices,” Fields continued. “So you will have a health care effect, Ed can see higher. There was not much information about what he would do exactly to cut this amount of $ 250 million. But I think these are some of the areas I expect.
“There are both vacancies at the state level, and I know that Mayor Johnston looked at this in Denver as well, but there are also people in jobs perhaps at least considered to be demobilized. This is very unfortunate at a time like now, but this may be a necessity.
“I know he said we will not cut K-12,” Boian. “We have to do something about our infrastructure in Colorado. So I don’t see it cut it from the infrastructure either. It is the person who suggested kindergarten on the full day. So I don’t see any movement on it. I also think he got some options.”
The freezing of the state’s employment began on Wednesday and continues until the end of the year. Democratic leaders in both covers said they were not sure of the discounts. A spokesman for the ruling office told Fox31:
“HR1 is forcing Colorado to make significant discounts and we are trying to reduce the amount of damage that this bill will cause this bill to coloraAdans wherever that is possible, while preserving our schools, methods and health care infrastructure. We are looking at all options for potential discounts, including the previous discounts in the budget proposal that has not been adopted by the Legislative Council.”
The ruler’s office said he will have more information to participate later this week about the effects of HR1 on Colorado.
