Colorado: Politician taking tax increase to voters
Saying that just cutting spending wasn’t the answer to Colorado’s budget problems, a Democratic state senator on Monday filed a citizen initiative that would ask voters in November to enact a three-year, $1.63 billion tax increase. “I am in hopes that the citizens of this state will say, ‘Enough is enough,’ ” Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, said in a news conference at the Capitol announcing his initiative.
