by CTBC Director | 9:12 pm, May 25, 2011

Apparently not content with killing TABOR (Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights constitutional amendment) by the thousand cuts (well, 15 and counting) of Colorado Supreme Court “interpretations” of TABOR’s viability in individual cases (most notoriously, the 2009 “Mill Levy Tax Freeze” property tax increase and the 2008 “fees don’t count as taxes” case leading to the [...]
