Introducing The Purple Book

CFI_Purple_Book_COVER_141215-v2

Where does Colorado rank in terms of income taxes? What about school funding per pupil? How does Colorado’s corporate income tax rank among states? What about its gas tax?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was one place to find answers to all these questions? Well, now there is. It’s called, “The Purple Book: A Colorado Compendium of Useful Fiscal Facts.”

Here at CFI, we think the state budget is everyone’s business, so we have created an easy-to-read guide that gives basic information about the state budget and taxes as well as many simple explanations about policies and laws that impact Coloradans.
