Colorado GOP voters guides

https://www.cologop.org/

Go to the top right dropdown and the guides by county are towards the bottom.

I looked at the Democrat site and didn't find a similar guide.

2 year minimal tax break to allow the thives to keep $25 million per year for 5 years if passed. I don't care if it funds the homestead exemption. A no vote on this is easy. Same for the MJ tax. I don't use, but allowing a new government office to form is a big NO.

What bothers me the most about the Marijuana tax is that they single out a single "group" to pay for their pet project. Yeah, the pet project may have good intentions, it's for the children after all, BUT if they were to single out a group that I was a part of, oh let's say they wanted to tax ammo. for their pet project, I'd be pissed. I don't use any MJ products, never have, but to single out a group like this amendment does is a bunch of crap. If they want their pet project to get funded, let everyone that pays taxes pay for it!!

Yeah, but if you?re going to single out a group I?d rather it be people who choose to indulge in a federally illegal substance than some other group.

That's what the left would say about guns/ammo though, "best industry to kill". It won't be federally illegal much longer. It was inevitable anyway (too much tax money to be made) but now Bezos is funding lobbyists to speed it up. Watch, Amazon will be delivering weed in the near future.

Any tax increase hiding behind children is bad policy.

This is not only a tax increase on pot, it also diverts $20 million from the general fund. It is not subject to state constitutional spending limits.

It creates a new agency that is not under the oversight of the State board of education or the department of education (I have no idea what the difference is).

We don't need more agencies to spend more money to poorly educate kids in public school.

The hardcore potheads will just get MMJ permits so they don?t have to pay the taxes. I?m fact I would think many already do this.

I find www.Ballotpedia.org to be really helpful. Just put in your address and they'll show you what they have on your ballot.

My ballot this year has two issues which exemplify the adage, "politics makes strange bedfellows." The proponents and opponents are a crazy mix.

These things are due tomorrow. Just a reminder...
