- Title
Food Safety and Fees in Larimer County, Colorado: Impasse.
- Abstract
In Colorado, the state legislature traditionally has helped fund county health department programs, distributing money according to a per capita formula. In other words, the state paid counties a dollar and some cents per resident. In Larimer County, the per capita money amounted to about $350,000, until last year, when the governor used his line item veto to cut funding for local health departments from the state budget. The loss of $350,000 brought to head a budget crisis that had been brewing for some time. The county commissioners gave the health department stopgap money from county property tax funds to keep the program going from January through June of 2003.
