Is Colorado’s future in peril?

 

DU panel members speak in Broomfield
at free symposium March 16

 Is Colorado’s economic future in peril? Broomfield residents will have an opportunity to find out. Charles S. Brown and Jim Jacobs, participants of the University of Denver’s Colorado Economic Futures Panel, will be in Broomfield to present findings of a year-long study of Colorado’s fiscal situation.

 

This free symposium is open to anyone interested in the various issues impacting state and local government. It begins at 7 p.m., March 16, in the City Council Chambers, 1 DesCombes Dr.  

 

The Colorado Economic Futures Panel completed its work last fall. It consulted with business and civic leaders about Colorado’s fiscal situation, and this informed discussion has led to possible solutions which Brown and Jacobs will present.

 

Brown led the staff of researchers and analysts for the panel’s work. For 17 years, he was the executive director of the State of Colorado Legislative Council, the nonpartisan research staff of the Colorado General Assembly.

 

Under his direction, the council staff conducted economic forecasting and analysis, including general and cash fund revenues, property tax assessed values, public school and higher education
