In Colorado TABOR resulted in millions of dollars in excess taxation to be returned to the taxpayers. When the people regained control of government they put TABOR on a moratorium. Colorado did NOT revoke or reject TABOR. They have a temporary moratorium in effect. That makes it easier for a town to spend more on fuel increases than the average cost of living increase.

What a concept.... ask before you spend other people's money. Explain why something is deemed necessary.If the taxpayers do not agree with you then you do without! Great idea where do we sign up this State?
