What started out as a simple layman’s guide to help demystify Colorado’s tax and budget policy is now an indispensable resource for legislators, local leaders, community advocates, and anyone who wants to better understand the facts and figures that shape our state’s fiscal landscape.

The 2024 Purple Book will have easy breakdowns of taxes, the Colorado State Budget, and key economic focus areas that you’ve come to expect from CFI, including dozens of charts and graphics that illustrate them.

We’ve updated where Colorado ranks compared to other states and expanded our sections on unemployment insurance and the minimum wage.

You’ll also find new sections on labor policies, preschool, oil and gas, transit, and recent ballot measure election results. With this edition, you’ll be grounded in facts about the fiscal issues at the center of the hottest debates.
