Referendum C John Andrews and Dick Armey take on Referendum C in this column from last week's Denver Post [May 19, 2005, "Proposed TABOR changes bad for taxpayers"]. They write, "As former legislative leaders, we understand the pressures that push officeholders in this direction. But we also know from experience that those pressures are not in the public interest. We urge Coloradans to support TABOR and say 'no' when the issue comes to a vote next fall. The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights has protected taxpayers the past dozen years by requiring voter approval for tax hikes - and by allowing government to grow no faster than inflation and population. It is being watched and imitated by tax reformers in other states from Vermont to Nevada, Wisconsin to Tennessee." Category: Denver November 2005 Election 8:37:03 AM    comment []
