Colorado families are being asked to believe a familiar lie; the only way to fund education is to let politicians take and keep more of your money — forever.
Senate Bill 135 is disingenuous and is not a serious education plan. It is a backdoor attack on TABOR dressed up in the language of helping kids.
Without raising taxes, I have spent six years fighting to increase education funding by more than $1.3 billion. Governing the right way by setting priorities, making hard choices, and funding schools without breaking faith with taxpayers.
Now compare my success with the Democrats’ plan in SB 135. SB 135 asks voters to get rid of their TABOR refund forever in order to grow state spending by up to $5 billion annually. While possibly giving a paltry $200 million a year for 10 years to education.
