When colleges and universities in Colorado received $30 million more from the state legislature this year, the common perception in higher education circles was that the boost was a one-time occurrence. However, last week's 2014-15 budget proposal from Gov. John Hickenlooper included an even higher allotment for schools — $60 million for operations and another $40 million allocated for state-funded financial aid. "What distinguishes Colorado from other states is our highly educated and innovative workforce, and we can't afford to lose that edge," said Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, the executive director of the state Department of Higher Education. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24487277/lt-gov-says-new-budget-aims-stem-rise
