Opinion | Coloradans Flip Down a Tax Seize Categorical Instances

Republicans had little to cheer on Tuesday (see close by), however one electoral silver lining got here in a Democratic-controlled state. Coloradans delivered a victory for restricted authorities by rejecting Gov. Jared Polis’s misleading tax seize.

Voters delivered a transparent verdict on Proposition HH, a poll measure that will have raised the caps on what the statehouse can tax and spend. Gov. Polis and Democratic legislators put their weight behind the measure, hoping to haul in a further $42 billion by 2040. Voters shot it down 60% to 40%.
