An intensive state audit that Great Outdoors Colorado initially opposed has found no instances of inappropriate spending by the lottery-supported trust that has supported 4,900 projects with grants totaling $1.1 billion since 1993. But Colorado State Auditor Dianne Ray, who had to sue GOCO to conduct the rigorous performance audit, did find that GOCO could do a better job of categorizing grants in order to assure that all four of its constitutionally mandated funding missions receive equal support. GOCO was created to direct “substantially equal” sums into four areas: open space, local government, outdoor recreation and wildlife.
