Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Surplus™, which is each taxpayer's share of money available after state bills have been paid.
TIA's Taxpayer Surplus™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.
Colorado has $30.6 billion of assets available to pay the state's bills totaling $27.4 billion.
Colorado has $3.2 billion available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $1,500 per taxpayer.
