66 has nothing to do with kids or schools, if you look into it its really to shore up PERA (public employee retirement account). PERA is so far in a hole that even with this huge tax increase its still unsustainable. Also many dont realize it skirts TABOR (tax payers bill of rights) and changes the tax structure to a progressive one as apposed to the flat one we have now without taking that issue to the people separately as they are supposed to. In short ITS A SCAM, VOTE NO!
66 = HELL NO
AA = Why increase the taxes on this to drive the sale of it back into the black market? My vote on this is NO.
Do these guys not understand that they can increase tax income by simply spending less on useless crap? Reducing wasteful spending should be the top priority instead of continuing to run the budget like a rental and wondering why there isn't enough.
We need a new amendment submitted. One which gives the tax paying citizens the right to punch anyone in the face that is in political office and wants more taxes. Maybe if there was a tangible price to continually trying to raise taxes it wouldn't happen every election.
This state could be flush with funds if they supported oil and gas like the Dakotas. So f them for wanting to raise taxes instead of revenues.
Sure, I'll give them more money... once they learn how to manage it better. Don't anyone go holding their breath on that one- you might pass out!
I also got the other new blue book (the '13/'14 CO Peace Officer's Handbook)- it has all the new (retarded) gun laws in it, and the asinine rearrangement of some laws... still nothing on the pot stuff though.
Well, y'see, that's the great thing about living in Boulder: I don't need a handbook to tell me how to vote, I simply look at the political signs in my next door neighbors front lawn and vote exactly opposite of what those signs suggest :)
If only more people in boulder did like you. Maybe they would see you NOT jumping off a cliff and do the opposite.Quote:

Also it would be one tax that would never see a dime of my money, but it is a tax and I say hell no on both.

Went looking for polls and only found one.
Order 66 doesn't look like its doing well.

If that were to improve for 66 you can bet the polls done since Sept would have been published and heralded by the press.
