    I've still got my Recall Morse sign so I guess I could spraypaint it white and then stencil over it (which might be fitting).

    Read my lips (keyboard), "no new taxes"! They want more $$$$, they can all give themselves a paycut and spend the difference, or they can do the Smith-Barney thing, and "earn it".

    No on both.

    The state has proven itself irresponsible with the funds they get now, why would anyone want to get these artists of malfeasance more money.

    The pot tax thing I could vote for if they had done what voters asked for. There was already a majority of the state that said "legalize and tax it to fund schools." Given it doesn't affect me and the people it would affect already said go ahead, I could support that. Problem is, that isn't what the bill does. It instead sends a token amount to schools and a big increase to the general fund for lawmakers to play with.

    I agree, if they used the pot tax to lower the rest of our taxes (what a novel concept) i would be for it. Also who in their right mind would tax pot that much when there is already a big under ground market for it? It will just stay under ground and that market will get bigger.

    Big F'ing NO on both of them.

    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.
