Sign the petition! The graduated income tax would cut taxes for those making less than $500k a year, raise them for those making more, and bring in $2 billion for healthcare, child care, and K-12. https://t.co/aA6N3ksJgU

This op-ed in the @coloradosun.com about child care worker pay is worth a read. "Paying the people who care for Colorado’s youngest children $7 below a living wage is not an economic inevitability. It is a policy choice." #copolitics https://t.co/oQQajpJI7m

Exactly this: "Some folks won’t be happy until we are left with no public schooling, scant social services, a prison system in shambles...The 'big government' complainers would rather live on a desolate island with nothing, except more and more highways." https://t.co/qkheuBYB8I

These three programs constitute nearly 71% of the state’s General Fund and Initiative 175 would divert more $540 million from the general fund.

Really smart take on the wrecking ball that is Initiative 175. https://t.co/f0bLVSuDxF

This effort simply diverts existing funds from existing programs — especially critical programs like Medicaid, K-12 education, and higher education.
