Public forum on 60,61 and 101 in Fairplay on Oct. 5 -Flume

Simply:

Amendment 60 would limit how property taxes are raised, and would overturn laws that have raised taxes since the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights was passed in 1992. It would cut mill levies in half by 2020.

Amendment 61 would require state and local governments to get voter approval before borrowing money.

Proposition 101 revises income, telecommunications and vehicle taxes and fees. Notably, it limits yearly vehicle registration, license and title fees to $10 and repeals various other vehicle charges.

In Colorado, ballot amendments are changes to the state constitution. Propositions are changes to state statute.

Supporters of the measures say they would cut unnecessary spending and force governments and schools to operate more efficiently.

Heartless...the OVERSPENDING and out of control SPENDING has got to STOP!! And it needs to STOP with us the voting public. Governments need to tighten their belts and be held accountable to the taxpayers, they are seriously lacking in accountability and transparency to the citizens of this great country. :thumbsup:

As it should be!!!!

As it should be!!!! It has worked perfectly in the Commonwealth States for years. Unlike Colorado where they continue to charge you taxes on your vehicle based on the original MSRP, not the depreciated value of the vehicle which I've always found totally ludicrous. Just another way to keep getting more of our hard earned money and turn it back over to the government.

The REAL Colorado Budget Figures
Here's an important website: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/#usgs302a
Broken down by state (Colorado), THE GOVERNMENTS OWN FIGURES!!!
They keep telling us our budget is 20 something Billion, to make it SOUND like 60,61 & 101 are going to cause Armageddon!
Our REAL state & local expenditures (what YOU paid) '09 US CENSUS figures 44.7 BILLION!
Our REAL state & local deficit debt (what YOU OWED) '09 CENSUS figures 52.6 BILLION!
They tell you it's 20 something to MISLEAD you into believing that 60,61 &101 are a much LARGER percent cut of what you already pay!!!
The TRUTH of the matter is that at most, even using their bloated figures, that YOUR TAXES will only be CUT 10%!... ACTUALLY MUCH LESS...
I've had to cut MORE than 10% of MY spending...WHY CAN'T YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!
If I want to buy something I SAVE UP FOR IT!…WHY CAN’T YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!
President Reagan in his first year as President MADE all his Departments cut their budgets 10%...
You know what???NO Armageddon!!
It worked so well that first year, you know what???
He cut the FOLLOWING years budget ANOTHER 10%!!! NO ARMAGEDDON!! IMAGINE THAT!!!
Besides even IF they can justify a NEED for MORE tax dollars or a loan, then they can ASK the taxpayers!!! THEY can GET IT!!! IF WE WANT IT!!! NO ARMAGEDDON!!!
They don't want to HAVE to ask to spend money, hence the 52.6 BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT!!!
Come on---- COLORADO WAKE UP!!! THESE INITIATIVES MUST PASS!!!---Thank You----Your fellow TAXPAYERS
