A move by the state watchdog Office of Consumer Counsel will expand the powers of this office, allowing it to intervene on behalf of Coloradans in areas like climate change, career changes for energy workers and environmental justice for pollution-impacted communities. 

According to the Executive Director of the Office of the Consumer Counsel, Cindy Schonhaut:

The office has saved Colorado consumers more than $2 billion since the 1980s by fighting against “huge corporations that have many resources and tons of attorneys.”

“We are motivated by the fact that we represent the public interest, and we are the only state agency that does that. And that means we represent you, the consumers who pay the bills.”
