Colorado: Initiatives opposed by school district
The board of education for Trinidad School District No.1 came out in opposition at its Aug. 24 board meeting to a series of ballot initiatives intended to curtail a number of state and local taxes and fees. The resolution approved unanimously by the board calls the initiatives “unnecessary” due to the state constitution already containing provisions that, “require the state to balance its budget and that give citizens the right to vote on all tax increases and creation of debt.”
