Article Icon 1A 'Goldilocks' Budget Forecast

After years of billion-dollar shortfalls, state economists told lawmakers Thursday that Colorado may avoid deeper cuts next year and could even start rebuilding its reserves.

The latest quarterly forecast projects the state will close the fiscal year June 30 with a surplus. "I'm calling it the Goldilocks forecast," chief legislative economist Greg Sobetski told the Joint Budget Committee.

To rebuild reserves to 15% of spending, lawmakers would need to trim only $315 million in 2027-28, or nothing if they hold reserves at the current 13%. Forecasters credited a smaller-than-expected hit from the federal tax law and a higher Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) cap pushed up by inflation.

The relief is expected to be temporary. Health care costs are still rising faster than the state can spend under TABOR, and federal cuts to Medicaid and food stamps are set to take effect after 2027.

Article Icon 1Poudre Schools Cut 182 Jobs

Poudre School District will eliminate 182 educator positions heading into next school year, citing declining enrollment and a budget shortfall.

The cuts include 110 non-renewed teaching positions and 72 classified jobs eliminated at the end of this school year. The Fort Collins district expects 654 fewer students next fall, citing falling birth rates and families priced out by housing costs.

District officials said that not all the reductions are layoffs, since some vacancies left by retiring or resigning staff went unfilled. The district also approved $5.4 million in raises for the coming year.

The Poudre Education Association questioned raising pay for senior leaders while the district cuts jobs, and parents worry the remaining staff will have to absorb the load.

Article Icon 1Body-Cam Released in Denver Shooting

Denver police released body-camera video Thursday showing two officers shoot a man who was holding a lighter designed to look like a handgun.

The shooting happened June 2 at a Sinclair gas station on Santa Fe Drive, after a multi-agency auto-theft task force tracked a stolen traffic-control truck there. A camera inside the truck had captured the driver holding the gun-shaped lighter.

An Adams County Sheriff's Office deputy and a Colorado State Patrol trooper fired 13 shots as the man walked toward the convenience store, hitting him several times. No Denver officers fired, though the department is leading the investigation.

The man, identified as 35-year-old Joshua Jackson, was hospitalized and faces vehicle-theft and drug charges. Two clerks inside the store were not hurt, and both officers were placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation.
