Whether or not Colorado government jobs will be affected by the upcoming budget remains to be seen, but state officials remain somewhat optimistic about this moth’s revenue forecasts.
“The revenue forecast for the current budget is hopeful and promising,” Gov. Bill Ritter said. “It’s the best forecast we’ve seen in almost two years, and it indicates that our strategies are working and the economy is slowly beginning to stabilize. However, one improved forecast does not stability make.
Ritter warns that the economy still remains volatile and that officials need to continue being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and continue making the fair, balanced and responsible decisions they have been making since the recession began.
