I see it as very important that taxpayers have access to all financial transactions.

Taxpayers need to know if they are getting value for their tax dollar.

When people pay taxes, they are buying a service and benefit for their community. Colorado Tax Tracks shows taxpayers what they pay and what they buy for their money.

I feel very strongly we need to do a better job with the rainy day fund.

I am proud of my record as Colorado's State Treasurer. I have protected the taxpayer's money and grown the value of the state's investments in a very challenging economy.

When I see old friends, I'm very excited.
