Why TABOR Matters on February 17th

Why TABOR matters:
The Craig City council approved a ballot question to increase the sales tax by 1.75%. Craig City Council followed the law and asked voters permission to do so. The city faces a budget deficit of $1.2 million a year for the next two years. If passed, the new tax would raise an additional $2.1 million annually. The new tax increase passed by 88 votes of 2,327 votes cast.
