Colorado’s Budget Gap Myth! How Anti-TABOR Legislators are Laying the Groundwork to Raise Your Taxes & How you can Fight Back!

You’ve probably seen the headlines… “Lawmakers stare down long-term cuts as Colorado runs into TABOR’s hard spending cap,” and “Food banks, kids’ therapy and diapers: What Colorado lawmakers have cut from the state budget so far,” are just two recent examples.

It’s becoming more obvious that the “budget gap” is going to be used as an excuse to attack the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and raise our taxes!

Thankfully, we have Natalie Menten, a Liberty Leader and Taxpayer Advocate who is standing up for TABOR.

In this video, Natalie and Brandon talk about the reality of Colorado’s budget and explain how TABOR has helped Coloradans keep more money in their wallets.
