Everyone has a stake in defeating Proposition HH, especially small businesses, and a big reason for that is personal — literally

DENVER, Oct. 4, 2023—In a new op-ed in Colorado Politics, NFIB Colorado State Director Tony Gagliardi highlights why it’s imperative that Colorado preserves TABOR and rejects Proposition HH.
Excerpts below:
“For more than 30 years, thanks to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), Colorado has given them a refund every time the state takes in more than it spends. Maybe that’s what secretly irritates the anti-TABOR forces the most: It delivers on what it promised, and continues to do so. How many initiatives can claim that?
The political class is now trying to repeal TABOR via Proposition HH, which is on the November ballot. This foolish proposal reflects politicians’ belief that they deserve more of your money with every passing year. They don’t. And they never will. Your money is yours and it should stay that way.
According to them, Prop HH would still give you your money back. But that’s a gross misdirection, bordering on a lie. Sure, families would get property tax relief, but that’s only temporary. And every year, the state would get a bigger portion of TABOR refunds, until they disappear entirely.”
NFIB recently launched an issue campaign urging Coloradans to preserve TABOR and reject Proposition HH. Learn more at www.NFIB.com/ColoradoRefund
