❓What are supplementals ❓ Supplementals help us shore up our budget after unforeseen expenses, and the biggest unforeseen expense was the Congressional Republicans’ H.R. 1 tax bill that gutted Colorado’s budget in favor of tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy.

❌ H.R.1 cut $1 billion from Colorado’s state budget. And now we’re picking up the pieces. ✅This year’s supplemental budget package protects funding for core services and preserves Medicaid eligibility. #coleg #copolitics

A 2021 @jessiedanielson.co law requiring salary ranges in job posts has sparked a wave of wage transparency laws across the US. "Pay-transparency laws aim to make it easier for workers to gauge their worth in the labor market and compare job opportunities." news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

How Colorado’s Salary Laws Sparked a Global Push for Open Pay

Colorado cracked open the culture of secrecy around salaries when it started forcing employers to include pay ranges in job postings. It also sparked an international trend.
