Colorado: Groups raising money to oppose tax measures

Tue, Sep 28 2010 — Source: Bloomberg Business Week

Bankers, unions, Democrats and Republicans are joining forces to oppose three tax measures on November’s ballot. They claim the measures will cost 73,000 jobs if they pass, so the groups have raised more than $6 million to fight the proposals. Supporters say the measures will create private-sector jobs, but they have raised just $14,000 to press their case. The impacts would occur over several years.
