Not since 1992 and the historic TABOR Amendment has there been more important tax and spending propositions on the ballot. This year, the 14 propositions lean both right and left in terms of their purpose and supporters.
Ten of the propositions are cultural in nature. They all lean right and are sponsored by conservative organizations (e.g. Advance Colorado). Among the four propositions that are related to government funding three are backed by liberal groups and causes (e.g. Bell Policy Center, education and conservation groups). One conservative tax-related proposition is on the ballot, a protection of the flat tax which counters the graduated income tax proposal (Advance Colorado).
