Colorado Governor Jared Polis has revealed his final budget proposal, which seeks to address a projected $1.6 billion deficit. The plan includes significant cuts to Medicaid, amounting to $600 million, as part of efforts to curb rising costs. Additionally, the proposal aims to raise casino taxes and limit the growth of Medicaid benefits. While the budget outlines a $579 million increase in spending compared to previous proposals, changes are anticipated due to the upcoming election, especially concerning education funding.
