For the first time in Colorado state government history, all of the executive branch budget requests are now posted on the Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting website, making the budget process more open to the general public.

The FY08-09 budget requests are available for viewing or download by clicking here:

“We are doing everything possible to bring greater fiscal transparency to state government,” Gov. Ritter said. “We believe taxpayers have a right to know how we spend taxpayer dollars. My FY08-09 budget recommendations address high-priority needs in public safety, education, child services, health care, energy and natural resources, and it is in the best interest of the taxpayers to see how we propose to make those investments.”
