Denver November 2005 Election
Along with the budget bill asking voters to amend TABOR there will be other issues on the fall ballot, according to the Rocky Mountain News [March 15, 2005, "Budget ballot measure getting a lot of company"]. Too many issues often leads to voters rejecting all. From the article, "The Colorado Club for Growth and the Independence Institute filed 16 measures related to state spending in the past week, including five on Friday. Their latest ideas include freezing future spending, banning state-sponsored lobbying and imposing "term limits for taxes." Group leaders say they're trying to strengthen spending rules and counter Colorado lawmakers, who are pushing a budget-balancing bill toward the ballot. Leading Democrats and Gov. Bill Owens are negotiating a plan to cover an estimated $500 million budget shortfall by asking voters to raise state spending limits - something the conservative groups oppose - and let the state spend money it otherwise would refund to taxpayers."
