Well, we knew this was coming.

One of the things I figured with a solid "D" majority in our state would be they would try to repeal TABOR so they can shove new taxes down our throats.

And here it is: https://www.cpr.org/news/story/full-...me-court-rules

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday gave the green light to a proposed ballot measure that would fully repeal Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

This state is sooo very dicked.

Really hope I get an OOS job offer soon.

AZ is always hiring. Doubt it's the pay scale you're use to in CO.

So glad that moving out of here is on my short list!

I really should start looking for work out of state.

Well they didn't get their tax increases approved in the election, so they need to approve them without the consent of the people.

Interestingly enough, many of the libtards I argue with on the KRDO comment section are actually opposed to overturning TABOR. So I'm not 100% convinced that they'll 1) get enough signatures to put this on the ballot and 2) if they do, get enough votes to pass it.

This is going to the ballot though, right?

All the Court said is that it can go on the ballot which, as long as requirements are met, has always been a risk to TABOR. It's a risk to gun rights as well but isn't attempted because it would never pass.

It's been a long time since we've seen a state issue directly raise taxes and get passed. C & D were passed to prevent this (lies!) and those were an end to rebates, not a tax "raise" as campaigned. In the last cycle Amendment 73, Prop 109, Prop 110, and Prop 112 all failed. These would have directly/indirectly raised taxes.

I'm surprised they are going this route and am fairly confident it will fail. The kind of Liberal we have here in CO is the hypocritical kind--she isn't going to raise her own taxes. The "independent" voter has buyer's remorse whenever the elected Libs venture from social issues into fiscal issues, count them out. On principle Libertarians like that gov has to ask for more revenue so I doubt they would support it.

Yes, and thankfully they need 55% of the vote since it is a change to the constitution...so glad we approved that one.

If I had to give odds, I'd say they'll be lucky to get 25-30% to vote for it if they can get it on the ballot.
