Permanent Tax Hike
Coloradans should vote NO on 59. Why? Because:
* It is a permanent tax increase.
* It is really about raising general tax revenues.

* It will be another boondoggle.
* It is deceptive.

We know that the single best way to attract employers to our state is to have a strong, educated workforce. Amendment 59 invests in education and teaches students the skills they need to strengthen our economy. That's why I'm voting for Amendment 59
yes on Amendment 59
Despite hearing the above podcast, I still support Amendment 59. When the government is forced to save and plan for future expenses, just like every working family, not only are we holding government accountable but we are protecting our state from future problems and slowdowns in the economy. As a state, and heading into rough economic times, we should not be forced to look back at this election and wonder what might have been...
