If this was just a tax increase to fund schools, it would have been really close. The poison pill I think was the heavy handed and idiotic attempt to siphon local tax revenue from well off school districts and funnel it into the Denver area. My property taxes are insanely high in west Jeffco, and I would be extremely pissed if that was being siphoned off and sent to Denver...might as well just replace the Colorado flag with the hammer and sickle and address everyone as comrade. What a bunch of communist filth we have taking over this state. I purposely boycott Denver and I don't support their economy and I sure as hell am not going to provide them with tax revenue. If this had passed, I would have been forced to move.
