Why TABOR Matters on February 26
Why #TABOR matters:
The TABOR Foundation’s legal counsel has been instrumental in the challenge of the arbitrary mandate on hospitals requiring payment of an annual “fee” for the privilege of providing service to the residents of Colorado. The Hospital Provider lawsuit is ongoing and asks the courts to determine a critical question: What is a tax, and what is a fee?

Denver Trial Testimony Demonstrates the Need to Protect Nonprofit Donors

February 8, 2019
A recently concluded trial in Denver, Colorado, centered on the right of 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) nonprofit groups to protect their donors from being put on a government list and having their addresses, occupations, and employers published on the Internet.

I won’t recount that testimony here since it was the central element of my earlier post, but suffice it to say that the testimony was vivid, compelling, and painted a troubling picture of what some nonprofit employees endure at the hands of people who disagree with them.
