A vote whether to water down Colorado’s TABOR law comes Tuesday, and voter interest seems high:
The debate has been so serious that the voters — who usually complain bitterly about campaign advertising — say it has provided a valuable education. In a Denver Post poll, 81 percent of those surveyed said they had learned about government and about Tabor from the
referendum campaign.
Also interesting that those who wrote the original law required that any referendum to change it would have to be held on the first Tuesday of November. All other elections must be held the first Tuesday after the first Monday, so Coloradans will be voting again a week later for various local candidates. The more I learn about the original TABOR law, the more I think the people who wrote it and got it passed were genuises.
