Ethics Watch Investigates Error in Collection of Coal Severance Tax

August 15, 2007

Ethics Watch today submitted a Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request to the Colorado Department of Revenue in response to reports that the state has failed to collect $40 million in coal severance taxes since 1993. The request seeks documents relating to the 1993 decision against charging the severance taxes as well as copies of tax bills dating back to that time.

Responsive documents from the state will be posted here once they are received by Ethics Watch.
