« Governor Already Making Plans to Spend Tennessee's Surplus | Main | The View from Iraq » November 5, 2003Taming the Tax MonsterIn Colorado, citizens get to vote on tax increases. Yesterday they voted a very loud NO... Coloradans defeated by a 3-to-1 ratio a plan that would have raised property taxes on homeowners across the state. Amendment 32, which would have repealed the state's current property tax system, went down early. "It's such a decisive statement by the voters of Colorado. They clearly saw through this, and they said they're not interested," said Ron Stewart, of Citizens for Fairness in Taxation, the group opposing Amendment 32.Gallagher is one of two amendments in the Colorado constitution that limits taxes and spending. The other, the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, is currently under assault by an array of special interests, big-government proponents and left-wing think tanks, who are aiming to put on next year's ballot a package of "reforms" that would gut TABOR. Consider yesterday's rejection of changes to Gallagher a message from voters: don't mess with our protections against higher taxes. Posted in Taxpayers Bill of Rights
