Gov. Jared Polis is pitching increased savings for Coloradans more than any other campaign pledge, by far, as he seeks a second term as governor. Citizens may have picked that up in one of the dozens of references to cost-savings in his State of the State speech earlier this month. Or on his social media, or when he spoke on the Capitol steps ahead of the 2022 legislative session and promised to work on “making the state more affordable for everyone,” or in virtually any other recent public remarks not specifically devoted to the COVID-19 pandemic or the Marshall fire. But, as Polis himself acknowledges, there are limits to how much money state government can really save people.
