We're expecting next week's Revenue Forecast to put the 3% raise in danger. Now is the time to call JBC members and let them know that state workers contribute to our state's economic recovery! Only by hearing from YOU can this raise become a reality. Call one or all of the JBC members listed and say: "Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a state employee working at __(dept/facility: ie: DOC, Sterling)__. Please keep the 3% base-building raise for state workers funded in this year's budget. We spend our money in local economies and help contribute to our State's economic health. A raise for state employees means that next year, our state economy will be even stronger. A 3% raise that helps state workers keep up with inflation will propel Colorado forward. Thank you."
