Morgan Carroll Talks Transparency
State Senator Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) speaking about SB 87, the Special District Accountability Act, which would require full public disclosure by special districts in Colorado of their elections, meetings, and debts, and the creation of a means for citizens to determine to which special districts their homes and properties are subject.
Yes, believe it or not, we in Colorado often don't know which or even whether a state-chartered "minor government" has jurisdiction over our property. And even when we do know about them, their elections and meetings often go unannounced (or are simply cancelled outright) in order to thwart public participation and accountability. Even worse: these districts may have racked up over $53B in debt (about four times the Colorado state budget), without transparency or accountability.
