Coloradans overwhelmingly support a property tax cut for both residential and commercial property. With housing costs on the rise, low-income families would especially benefit from this tax cut.

With redistricting coming before the next election, Republicans have an opportunity over the next two years to set a clear agenda and articulate it to voters.
Not only is it confusing, it’s also extremely biased.
Instead of asking for more property tax money, legislators should reform the education funding formula.
“Raise your taxes or we’ll cut your state funding.” That’s the message politicians would be sending school districts under a new proposal that is being worked on for the 2020
“It’s a statute not an amendment, therefore the statute can be changed next year by the legislature.”–Michael Fields
The money is there. Leadership is what’s lacking.
The current funding in our education system is sufficient, but it’s not being spent the right way.
“The state budget is huge and getting bigger each year.”–Michael Fields
Instead of staying on track with what’s been working for our economy, Democrats have quickly pivoted to far-left policies that threaten to do irreversible damage to our state’s financial health.
The fact is that our economy isn’t thriving because of John Hickenlooper. In actuality, a majority of the credit goes to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) – a unique law that allows Coloradans to vote on any and all tax increase.
