Just a Colorado parent angry about the short-sighted cuts and decisions TABOR forces onto our communities. It's eroding the opportunities and fortunes of Colorado families, now & in the future. F*ck this. 30+ years of this sh*t is enough. We deserve better

The fact that TABOR itself doesn't count as a single subject is ridiculous.

Plug key issues that are part of fighting oligarchy specifically — I would have loved to have seen you/Bernie mention TABOR repeal in Colorado, the critical change we need to tax the rich on the state level.

Nice writeup. Your Colorado assessment seems on point, though any comparison of what we’ve passed relative to states in comparable situations should mention that TABOR hamstrings the state from raising revenue even in times of GDP growth. Huge problem. www.npr.org/podcasts/563...
The Taxman
In 1992, Colorado voters took away politicians' ability to raise taxes. This is the strange and sometimes unbelievable story of how a man named Douglas Bruce convinced them to do that — and what's hap...

Squeaky wheel principle, nothing gets fixed if people aren’t aware it’s a problem. Messaging isn’t enough alone but it’s definitely a key step that CO Dems as a group have punted on, leading to a predictable budget crisis AND a public confused about TABOR downsides.

the one and only defense of Colorado Dems is that TABOR ties their hands in a way that is unlike any other state. But Dems are terrified of attacking TABOR, terrified of taking the fight to an awful roadblock. And again: absolutely no leadership from Polis on this as a rich libertarian.

End TABOR. That’s it; that’s the long-term plan.

To be fair, @jennybrundincpr.bsky.social responded to me on another post saying she was working on some stories around TABOR & the impact of federal cuts on our state. There's so much going on, I trust she'll do a more in depth story soon. We need state leaders & orgs. talking about it too.

Are you me? I'm digging your style. Do not stop talking about TABOR.

You're implying that investing in my disabled child's services is a "pet project" and "bulk and grift" – despite the fact that my child will now require fewer resources from the state longterm and will likely be able to give back to the state more than he needed throughout the course of his life?

If it's so great, why has no other state (even conservative ones) adopted it? If fact, when it's popped up on ballots or in legislatures in other places, they all recommended against it and showed how it was failing CO (yes, again, even conservative economists & leaders).
