Opinion: Proposition HH is a TABOR runaround — and voters are smart enough to know that

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:15:33 GMT

Since it became law in 1992, Democrats have been determined to eliminate the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) by hook or by crook. Having lost lawsuits and attempts at repeal, they’re now trying the latter strategy with Proposition HH.Cooked up at the very end of the legislative session ostensibly to reduce skyrocketing property taxes, the proposal, if successful, will finally accomplish Democrats’ long-sought dream — the end of TABOR refunds or at least a significant reduction.Fortunately, new polling data show that when voters read the fine print, they see the proposition for what it is, and they don’t support it.While Colorado is a solidly blue state, Coloradans consistently vote to preserve the TABOR tax limits. In addition to requiring voter approval for tax hikes, the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights places limits on the amount of tax revenue the government can keep and spend. When the state collects more than it is entitled to, it must refund the money to taxpayer...

Voters in California will, once again, have the opportunity to decide if landlords should face new limitations on how much they can increase rent.Supporters of a statewide rent control measure have gathered enough signatures -- more than 600,000 -- to put the issue on the 2024 ballot, California’s Secretary of State announced this week.Voters overwhelmingly rejected similar measures in 2018 and 2020.The initiative seeks to repeal a nearly three-decades-old state law, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, which prohibits cities from placing rent control limits on certain types of residences, namely single-family homes and apartments built after 1995.Groups endorsing the initiative include Veterans’ Voices, the California Nurses Association, Housing is a Human Right, and The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.At a virtual news conference on Thursday, Michael Weinstein, who bankrolled the signature drive, said he believes the third time will be the charm.“The situation has gotten so...
