The Rocky Mountain News editorial staff is urging voters to pass Referendum D on the fall ballot [September 4, 2005, "Don't overlook 'D'"]. From the article, "Ref D would permit the state to borrow up to $2.1 billion - or whatever it can get so long as repayment costs don't exceed $3.225 billion - for roads and bridges, school repairs and bailing out the police and fire pension plan."
Here's an opinion piece from former House majority leader Dick Armey in opposition to Referendum C from the Denver Post [September 4, 2005, "Referendum C: Democracy in action"]. He writes, "To increase taxes, supporters of Referendum C will need to convince the people that the government's need for hard-earned dollars is greater than their own. In a state where more than 70 percent of the people like the safety of the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, that is going to be a very difficult task."
