Coloradans deserve a fairer tax code. It's why we are voting YES on Amendment 87! Giant corporations and households earning over $500,000 should pay their fair share for our schools, health care, and child care. Vote YES on 87 and NO on 136! @protectcofuture.bsky.social

www.linkedin.com/pulse/truth-... @protectcofuture.bsky.social The Truth About Amendment 87 @colorado.gov published an op-ed opposing Amendment 87. It was predictable his message would be weaponized by dark money groups in the form of thousands of text messages making false claims. #YesOn87

As the lead author of Amendment 87, I want to take a few minutes to clear up some of what’s being said about it the past few weeks by people in very high places. This week, Gov.

Amendment 87 would tax Coloradans making $500k+ a year. Opponents including Gov Jared Polis (D) are misleadingly claiming it will raise taxes on low-income seniors and vets.

Colorado voters will decide an unusually large number of statewide ballot measures this November. The results of this election day could affect many aspects of Coloradans’ daily lives. CCLP evaluated these measures through an economic justice lens in our ballot guide: copolicy.org/ballot-guide...

"The state estimates that 3.4M Coloradans would pay less in income tax, while 64K would pay more. That 64K is fewer than the number of people who can fit in Mile High Stadium. Collectively, those 64K would pay about $2.5 billion more in taxes.” www.9news.com/article/news...
