Did you know Colorado had a large surplus this year that could have been used to fund education, yet the Democratic controlled state government funneled it into projects and reserves, yet then sponsored a Bill to raise our taxes.

If you are making less than 75K, this is an 8% Tax Increase. If you make more than 75K, then your taxes will increase up to 27%

If you live in Boulder, Douglas, Jefferson or Cherry Creek schools, 50% of every dollar taken in taxes would go to Denver and Aurora schools or other poorer school districts. Why? because these better off school districts have approved property taxes for local schools to improve them and Denver had voted against these tax increases. But this is a sweet deal for Denver, for every dollar collected in Taxes, they will get $1.50 to $2 to spend. There are no clear programs defined, no results for better grades, no performance metrics. Money mandated in evaluations and audits (READ ADMISTRATION COSTS), etc

Douglas County School district unanimously took a position against.

See what a Jeffco school board member has to say about it

Know where the money for the "vote Yes" ads are coming from? Same place as gun control ads; New York and DC.

Not a single Republican supported this as it went through the state Government. There was no compromise or attempt to reach a bipartisian plan.

Sorry, the tax and spend government just irks me.
