In 1992, Colorado voters passed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, the nation’s strongest tax limitation law to this day. For those who are unfamiliar what TABOR really does, this amendment to the Colorado Constitution allows government spending to reasonably increase using a formula of population growth plus inflation. Excess revenue, known as the “TABOR surplus,” must be refunded to taxpayers. If state government wants to keep the surplus, or raise taxes, voters must approve. That is exactly why progressives abhor TABOR. But the truth is, a little north of 60% of Colorado voters approve of TABOR.

Two years ago, I predicted that Joe Biden wouldn’t be on the presidential ballot by November 2024. After Kamala Harris secured the nomination, my rosy scenario was a Trump victory riding a red wave. (It’s true I picked Dewey over Truman in 1948, but I was only three-years-old then.)

Wanting to support your community and get civically engaged? Do you also like warm cookies? I suppose the Venn Diagram for these two things would likely show a lot of overlap. I’m right there in the middle anyway.
