Voters stand up to bullies; NO on 3A
Voters stood up to school bullies with a resounding NO VOTE on 3A, the massive, forever property tax increase. The results: 66 percent NO; 34 percent YES.
Taxpayers sent a strong message to the big spending school bullies. Live within your means like the rest of Colorado working families, and show taxpayers some respect by opening your books. Be transparent. Colorado Spending Transparency predicted the tax increase would be a tough sell without it.
Despite the bullies’ establishment support and the ridiculous amount of money they raised, Citizens Against School Bullies and taxpayers beat them! Bullies raised over $90,000 (monetary and in-kind) in contributions. We raised $1100. Bullies spent $55,000. We spent $900.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who supported us.
