NO | Amendment B: Repeal of Gallagher. Gallagher is Terrible public policy put in place by the socialists in our legislature, but the solution is insufficient and might taste worse than what’s in place |
NO | Amendment C: Does not belong in state constitution. Will introduce for-profit gaming into what is supposed to support charitable fund raising. |
YES | Amendment 76: Citizen Qualification of Voters – Voting is a right of Citizenship. |
NO | Amendment 77: Local approval of gaming limits and games. Expands gambling. While this should be a local issue, it is not an issue for the Colorado Constitution. |
NO | Proposition EE: Taxes on Nicotine Products. This involves the creation of new, ill-defined, fiscal hungry government welfare programs with no sunset or accountability. |
NO | Proposition 113: National Popular vote. In spite of title, a disaster. This cedes Colorado’s voice in the presidential election to populous states like California and New York. It would link distribution of Colorado’s electoral votes to the winner of the populous vote as opposed to obeying the wishes of Colorado voters. This would silence Colorado’s voters. |
NO | Proposition 114: Wolves. Individual communities should make this decision, not those of us unaffected by wolves. |
YES | Proposition 115: Prohibit Abortion after 22 Weeks. Currently, Colorado is like New York with legalized abortion up to the day of birth. |
YES | Proposition 116: State Income Tax Reduction. Leave more dollars in the hands of those who earned them |
YES | Proposition 117: Citizens vote on creation of large state Enterprises. TABOR |
NO | Proposition 118: Paid Family Leave and Insurance Program. This should be negotiated between employers and their employees. This proposition is a one size fits all policy dictated and ‘managed’ by the State. |
NO | City of COS ballot issue 2A. Retention of TABOR surplus and CAP adjustment. Nope. Make City Government give it back and stop ratcheting up taxes |
N0 | City of COS ballot issue 2B: Voter approval of requirements for parkland transfers. The Strawberry Fields / Broadmoor property exchange was a good thing. |
NO | City of COS ballot issue 2C: Supermajority requirement for parkland transfers. This is something City Council should manage as opposed to working into the hands of the agenda of a minority. |
