Beware the bait and switch. Cutting Colorado's income tax rate means a payday for the wealthy and more local taxes and fees for you to make up the difference.

Virginia will now tax data centers on their energy consumption, as lawmakers are beginning to shift away from offering enormous subsidies to data centers.

This move is expected to raise $600 million in new revenue per year.

Not a surprise, but nonetheless troubling. "Without subsidization, there are no U.S. states where childcare costs meet federal affordability standards." https://t.co/ApfQjfe3E8

Hey West Slope supporters! C'mon out to sign the petition to get the graduated income tax on the ballot. The GIT would cut taxes for those making less than $500k a year, raise them for those making more, and bring in $2 billion for child care, healthcare, and K-12.

The @BellPolicy is among the organizations that have banded together to fight a destructive federal bill on earned wage access. If it looks like a payday loan and acts like a payday loan it should be regulated like a payday loan. #ConsumerProtection https://t.co/GvZXquWykx

States often adopt federal tax changes into their own tax codes with little debate.

But that's not the case with OBBBA, as most states are declining to incorporate significant parts of the new law a year since it passed.

The @nytimes did a terrific piece on home-sharing arrangements among older people, citing an example from Denver as the lead anecdote. (gift link) https://t.co/BATNvpEA9v

Payday loan apps are just predatory loans with a fancy tech wrapper. Write to your representatives today to tell them to Vote NO on HR 9330 and demand that these apps abide by our current credit laws.

ICYMI: Rising credit card debt is a "pretty awful" leading indicator of economic stress among lower-income people trying to keep up with inflation. This comes out of the forecast presentation that Colorado's non-partisan Legislative Council Staff gave last week. #copolitics

I really appreciate this new resource to help understand the plethora of ballot measures floating around out there. Thanks, @BellPolicy! #copolitics #coleg https://t.co/0knKpgcfqj

ICYMI: School vouchers allow public education dollars to go outside the public school system so students may attend private or religious schools. The Bell's Joshua Mantell gives you a rundown on some of the issues surrounding this controversial topic. https://t.co/hh1rjOL3oL

As cities face budget shortfalls, more are exploring ways to tax the wealthy.

Building a budget that doesn’t rest on the shoulders of its poorest residents is not only a moral imperative, it’s smart, responsible, and sustainable tax policy.
