Colorado sold you "free" school meals, wolf reintroduction & expanded health coverage. Now the bills are in. Programs costing multiples of what was promised — and Democrats want to raise YOUR taxes to cover it.

High Income Coloradans pay an outsized share of income taxes.

Legislators consistently over-promise, under-estimate, under-deliver, and expect Coloradans to foot the bill. Read more here: https://t.co/3SSrEBAvjw @CompleteCO

Democrats in the Colorado Legislature are trying to keep your TABOR tax refunds… forever!

That’s what Senate Bill 135 would do, allow the State Government to keep tax money that would otherwise be refunded to Coloradans.

And to make matters worse, big-government activists are pushing a ballot measure that would create a “punitive income tax,” where those who earn more will be punished by having to pay higher taxes.

These schemes are coming at a time when Colorado’s business community is crying for help.

Employers are leaving the state,Coloradans are having trouble finding high-paying jobs, and the big-government activists both inside and outside the Capitol are trying to make things worse.

Thankfully we have @NashHerm, a policy analyst at the Denver-based Independence Institute @i2idotorg.

Nash has been sounding the alarm over these proposed tax increases through his articles, which can be found at Complete Colorado and the Independence Institute’s website.

In this video, Nash dives into these tax increasing measures and explains what’s happening with these attempts to take more of our money.

Gov. Polis helped stop two bills rolling back business tax breaks.

Good.

But as Nash Herman writes in Complete Colorado, the larger question is why Colorado lawmakers keep looking for new ways to make the state less competitive.

Colorado’s legislative session may be over, but the consequences are just beginning.

In this 2026 Legislative Update, Jake Fogleman breaks down the biggest policy battles of the session — from taxes and energy mandates to affordability and government growth — and what they could mean for Colorado families, businesses, and taxpayers.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of what happened under the dome this year, this is a conversation worth watching.

Gov. Polis reportedly helped kill two major anti-business tax bills after backlash over efforts to undo parts of Trump-era tax cuts and raise costs on Colorado businesses.

[Independence Institute @i2idotorg]

Independent voters should pay close attention to SB 135.

The measure is being pitched as public school funding, but it would also mean the state keeps more of your TABOR refund. Jon Caldara told Denver7 that lawmakers keep looking for “backdoor ways” to take more money, even after voters have repeatedly said no.

More money without accountability is not reform. It is just a bigger bill.
