Complete Colorado: It appears Colorado voters will get the opportunity — again — to give themselves some tax relief, as well as decide who gets to spend what are known as “custodial funds,” or money that flows into the state from sources other than Colorado taxpayers.
Proponents for ballot Initiatives 19 and 27, which would ensure that all state money is allocated by the legislature and cut property tax assessment rates by 9 percent, respectively, say they have collected the needed signatures to put both measures on the November 2021 statewide ballot.
They turned them into the Secretary of State’s office Monday.
Michael Fields, executive director of Colorado Rising Action, a Denver-based, non-profit, which according to the group’s website advocates for lower taxes, affordable and accessible health care, free enterprise, and against over-regulation, said signatures were cross checked throughout the gathering process to ensure they were valid, so he is confident his group has more than enough to meet the roughly 125,000-signature requirement.
