The biggest thing that will help to prevent this from happening is to raise awareness of what the TABOR ammendment and Ammendment 23 are doing to the states budget. This kind of budget cutting is taking place on all levels of state funded institutions except for K-12. The average taxpayer looks at the 100 dollars extra they will get back next year and rejoices while we are cutting state parks higher education and the prison system. As a state employee it probably effects me more then most but living in an area of the state were unemployment is already holding at around 8% it squit scary to think even more jobs may be lost because people are unwilling to do anyhting about it and greed.
