New ballot measure may update Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights
It’s called the Tax Payer’s Bill Of Rights (TABOR). Led by anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce in the early 90s, some local opponents feel the ballot initiative never made sense from the beginning. “It’s full of mumbo jumbo,” said John Weiss, publisher of the Independent in Colorado Springs. Weiss, along with about 60 other community members, want to change TABOR in a big way by getting something on the November ballot.
