Veterans fund to survive cuts

A cash fund two Mesa County state representatives fought to refill last year, the Colorado State Veterans Trust Fund, will survive the brunt of the year’s budget cuts, Joint Budget Committee staff told a joint session of the state Senate and House today.

Reps. Bernie Buescher, D-Grand Junction, and Steve King, R-Grand Junction, worked together last year — after a brief tussle — to refill the fund, which issues grants to underwrite veterans programs and service projects.

The budget plan will leave $4.3 million of the fund’s money in place.
