Why #TABOR Matters On September 2
The ballot language of Prop CC begins by claiming “Without increasing taxes…”
If it passes, that means you lose your TABOR tax refund permanently.
That is an increase in taxes.

The Bell Policy Center is another group behind repealing TABOR.
They consistently support tax increases and more government regulations.

Why #TABOR Matters On August 31
Proposition CC on the Nov 5, 2019 ballot asks voters if government can always keep any extra tax dollars paid in excess of the TABOR limits on the state budget. They suggest the money will be divided equally among K-12, higher education and transportation. But the ballot language contains no guarantees as to how money will be spent. Hence, Prop CC is nothing more than a slush fund for politicians to fund their special interests.

Referendum C hurt TABOR; Prop CC will do more harm
They lied to us in 2005, and they are doubling down on this lie in 2019. Colorado voters were sold a bill of goods with Referendum C in 2005, and it is of the utmost importance that we aren’t fooled again with Proposition CC in 2019.
Proponents of Referendum C originally claimed that their measure was “temporary.” The measure was supposed to offer a five-year reprieve from the constitutional limitations created by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), allowing some fiscal flexibility for Colorado lawmakers to invest heavily in education and transportation.
Or so they claimed.

• In 2005, voters passed Referendum C to provide more than $2 billion each year for roads.
• In 2009, the legislature passed FASTER fees, which provides $250 million each year through higher car registration fees.
• In 2017, the legislature “fixed” the Hospital Provider Fee, which freed up $600 million for roads and education.
• This all means we spend almost $3 billion more per year since 2005, yet our roads are still in terrible condition.
Who is accountable?

TABOR limits the growth of government (at all levels) by adding the rate of inflation and population growth to the baseline of the previous year’s budget. Taxpayers are guaranteed the right to vote on all tax increases – and receive a refund of any extra tax monies collected over the allowed amount. Unless they vote to allow the government to keep the extra money for a specific purpose. Proposition CC would let government always keep any extra tax money – without any further votes of the people.

Proposition CC’s Ballot Language Is NOT Being Honest With Colorado
Chris P. Bacon@CPBacon4CO
#PropCC Ballot Language **IF** the #democrats were being honest with #Colorado
But they’re not being honest
It’s not “Technically” a tax increase, but it IS permission for them to keep OverCharging your tax bills & keep it without asking

Why TABOR Matters on August 14
Supporters of Prop CC say that voters will still have the right to choose HOW their tax money is spent – but only if new issues are put on the ballot asking for a tax increase. Passing Prop CC would make the need to request tax money irrelevant, because the state budget would automatically grow each year.
