Did You Know: TABOR Unconstitutioality Lawsuit

[Zombie Steve]

They bypassed TABOR several years ago with referendums C and D (one passed, one didn't... don't remember which was which). It was the typical funny dog and pony show - "We're going to help roads, bridges, schools and infrastructure without any new taxes!!!". Well, they were right. There wasn't any new taxes. Citizens just didn't get a TABOR refund any more.

As soon as it passed, there was a big fight as to where all the money would go. I'm sure they thought about roads, bridges, schools and infrastructure for at least 5-10 minutes...


Quirky as the guy is... TABOR (Taxpayer Bill Of Rights) was the brainchild of Doug Bruce. Everyone hates the guy and tries to railroad him as much as possible, but he's the only guy I can think of that's even tried to achieve some kind of fiscal responsibility in this state.

Agreed. I don't care much for Douglas Bruce "the person", but Douglas Bruce "the citizens watchdog" is someone I fully support.
