The following Divisions are included in this figure setting document: THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE: • Provides central budgeting and fiscal note coordination, accounting and internal auditing, purchasing and contract administration, human resources, project management, and facilities safety and security; • Includes a Citizen’s Advocate who assists citizens and taxpayers with problems, grievances or inquiries, a Communications Director who is the primary contact for all media queries and requests for information, and a Legislative Liaison who directs all legislative matters for the Department; • Includes a Hearings Division for Department administrative hearings processes; • Supports the Office of Research and Analysis that develops analytical data and reports, including the Department’s annual report and monthly and quarterly sales tax reports, and estimates State of Colorado excess revenues under Article X, Section 20 of the State Constitution (TABOR); and • Is funded through direct and indirect costs charged to divisions. THE TAXATION BUSINESS GROUP: • Is responsible for the administration, collection, and enforcement of individual and corporate income taxes, sales and use taxes, gasoline and special fuel taxes, severance taxes, and all other taxes collected by the state; • Collects local sales taxes on behalf of counties, many cities, and special districts; • Provides assistance and information to taxpayers about compliance with Colorado’s tax laws; • Attempts to resolve taxpayer disputes before they reach the court system; and • Administers several pass-through fund distributions to local governments.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • 2020 Legislative Report & Scorecard 2020 Legislative Session
    2020 Legislative Report & Scorecard 2020 Legislative Session Mental Health Colorado is your voice for creating healthier minds across the lifespan. For more than 65 years, Mental Health Colorado has led the charge to promote mental wellness, end shame and discrimination, and ensure equitable access to mental health and substance use care. The challenges of the pandemic in 2020, including the interrupted legislative session and public and private revenue shortfalls, significantly altered the fiscal outcomes of our mental health and substance use policy work. When lawmakers returned to the Capitol, legislative leadership announced that no bills would move forward this session unless they were free, fast, and friendly (meaning no opposition). Mental Health Colorado had to come up with innovative ways to get our bills passed. A great deal of effort went into finding ways to implement the policy contained in a specific bill without any funding attached to it. Though this proved insurmountable with some bills, as you will see in this report, we ultimately ended the session with greater success than the unusual circumstances had led us to anticipate at the onset of the pandemic. Given our heartfelt understanding that Black Lives Matter, it is important to note that a number of the bills we supported—reflecting our historical commitment to health equity—address or correct for disparities that have been disproportionately harmful to Colorado’s Black communities and other communities of color throughout the state’s history. Across the board, from maternal health to preventable justice-involvement to mortality rates, the consequences of systemic racism are evident in population health data.

This report also includes voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Election Division staff compiled this information from materials submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. Additional information is available at Accountability in Colorado Elections (ACE), available online at https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/ACE/index.html. Without a doubt, the 2020 election year will be remembered as one of our state’s most unusual and most historic. After starting with the state’s first presidential primary in 20 years, we oversaw two major statewide elections amidst a global pandemic and the worst forest fires in Colorado’s history. Yet, despite those challenges, Colorado voters enthusiastically made their voices heard. We set state participation records in each of those three elections, with 3,291,661 ballots cast in the general election, the most for any election in Colorado history.
