Taxes And You
Why #TABOR Matters on September 14
Repealing TABOR: ends the ban on unfunded state mandates on certain local governments
Vote No on Proposition CC on Your November 5 Ballot
TABOR was passed by tax-paying voters in 1992 and became part of the Colorado Constitution. Its’ purpose is simple in that before lawmakers can raise your taxes, you get to vote yes or no, although spending increase by the inflation rate + population growth. Any extra revenue collected beyond that should be refunded to taxpayers.
If Proposition CC passes, you lose the right to vote on tax increases and lose any refunds due you. Not just for a year or two but permanently.
TABOR keeps government honest and forces it to prioritize the budget and spending.
Don’t lose your rights and refunds!
