Anti-TABOR Victory in Colorado    [posted 11/10/05]

On November 2nd, Colorado voters streamed to the polls and delivered a devastating blow to anti-government activists by passing Referendum C by a margin of 52 - 48. 

By suspending the so-called Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR), Coloradans rolled back the harshest government spending limits in the nation. This vote will help Colorado rebound from economic crisis and reinvest in education, health care, and public safety. 

TABOR, which passed several years ago in Colorado, greatly reduces state budgets by locking them into any reductions in revenue caused by economic recessions and downturns. There have been active TABOR initiatives in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio just to name a few states. In Colorado, TABOR was used to temporarily eliminate the state EITC. Congratulations to all the individuals and groups across Colorado who worked so hard to achieve this important victory. Click here for more information on TABOR.
