Coloradans only pay 1/4th as much as they used to pay in property taxes due to the #GallagherAmendment to our state constitution which we adopted in 1982. The Amendment’s effects have reduced local funding for services like K-12 schools and fire districts.

As we head towards a possible recession, it is more important than ever to understand the fiscal impact that a recession has on TABOR, Gallagher, and Amendment 23. Colorado has some hard questions to ask ourselves.
