Check out the guest opinion column from Colorado WINS' President Paul Boni and Executive Director Scott Wasserman about how personnel reform can, and should, benefit taxpayers and state workers - nurses, public safety officers, health care staff - alike.

As Westerners, we believe government should be accountable, clean and effective. Cronyism and politics should not decide who gets a job with the state. Over the past century, Colorado voters have been careful to preserve the idea that the best candidate should get the job, and that a commitment to public service deserves fair compensation.

See the entire column, which includes three key principles to improving the state personnel system here.

Sign onto the Colorado WINS personnel reform principles, which state that reform should be a win-win (for taxpayers and state workers), keep politics out of the delivery of essential services and result in attracting the best and brightest to serve Colorado.
