Special Session Recap: How Bad Was it?

The 2023 Special Session is over!

4 days and $96,000 later, Colorado’s Legislature has adjourned until January.

The primary purpose of the Session was to provide property tax relief due to the skyrocketing property tax bills coming next year.

Unfortunately, the Democratic-controlled Legislature used this as an opportunity to push a variety of pet projects, steal money from the TABOR pool, and provide only a minimal reduction in property taxes.

It was a slap in the face to voters, who defeated Proposition HH just two weeks ago.

Not only that, but the Special Session lacked transparency, with bills not being available until minutes before they were to be voted upon.

Coloradans should be ashamed of the so-called “representatives” who make up the majority in the Legislature.

In this video, Natalie Menten and Brandon Wark provide an analysis of the legislation introduced during the Special Session and share their experiences at the State Capitol.
