“In a moment where there’s a lot to be worried about, we think this is something to be profoundly excited about, the opportunity to expand the quality and the quantity of education to Colorado’s kids by establishing universal preschool,” said Mike Johnston, president and CEO of Gary Community Investments.

It is estimated that over $300 million in revenue from this tax would flow into the education budget in the first three years, with a significant portion of that going to rural schools.
