Colorado Democrats agree they need to do something about TABOR. But they disagree on what
Colorado Democrats are currently debating how to tackle the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR), which limits state revenue growth. Proposed strategies include eliminating the revenue cap, allocating excess funds to specific programs, or even invalidating the 1992 constitutional amendment entirely. These discussions reflect the party's internal divisions and the pressing need for effective revenue management in the state. Jesse Paul from The Colorado Sun provides insights into the lawmakers' differing priorities and the potential implications for state funding. The outcome of these debates could significantly influence the state's ability to finance essential services.
As Colorado faces ongoing budgetary challenges, the decisions made in this legislative session will have lasting effects on fiscal policy and public services.
