Legislation to Shine Light on Colorado School Spending Still Alive and Kicking

Good news heading into the weekend: School district financial transparency is still alive at the Colorado State Capitol.

Also, the Denver Post‘s Jessica Fender highlighted my recent Independence Institute report (PDF) in an article on the topic today.

The fight led by citizens and state senator Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, for Senate Bill 57 (PDF) and shining the light on school spending resumes Monday.

From the Greeley Tribune:

“I anticipate it will be a very close vote — one vote either way — to take it back to mandatory,” said Harvey, before continuing later, “I am encouraged by the conversations I’ve been having with the senators.”

Keep your chin up, and don’t forget to remind your taxpayer-supported government officials: “If you can’t defend it, don’t spend it!”
