Vote today in council to put two measures on ballot
The Colorado Springs City Council today will take a formal vote on whether to place two measures on the November ballot. One of the proposals, sponsored by Councilwoman Jan Martin, would raise the city’s property tax by 10 mills over five years, with five mills in the first year. The other measure, sponsored by Councilman Tom Gallagher, would overhaul the local Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, leaving only the portion requiring voter approval of taxes. The two proposed ballot measures seem destined for the November ballot.
