Something’s missing from the Colorado state budget proposal — and it’s a biggie.
The Joint Budget Committee last week finalized its budget package without deciding what to do about Proposition 130: the voter-approved requirement that the state spend $350 million to support law enforcement.
But the six-member panel does have the makings of a plan.
The JBC was briefed last week on a draft bill to dole out the $350 million in regular installments over the next 10 years.
If only it were that simple.
