Legislative Agenda
Through high-quality research, strategic communications, and statewide advocacy, the Colorado Fiscal Institute addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to promote widespread prosperity. Tax policy serves as a powerful tool for equity. It can either fuel economic opportunity for everyone, or it can end up holding us back. CFI prioritizes policies that meet the criteria for sound tax policy, that broadly benefit working families, or that foster equity and widespread economic prosperity. During Colorado’s Legislative Session, CFI uniquely focuses on the fiscal and economic implications of policy affecting working families as well as how public resources are allocated to meet public needs. We advocate for and promote tax and budget policies that check growing income and racial inequality, that meet the goals of a sound taxation system, and that are effective, economically efficient, fair, transparent, and accountable.
