Turns out it was George Deukmeijian and the California GOP that weakened the Gann Limit back in 1990 in order to sell voters a bill of goods - I mean you know spending on more roads. Instead it ushered in a decade and a half of reckless spending. There's a lesson here: IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT. Yet the party of limited government wants to weaken TABOR in Colorado to allow reckless spending. If we put back in a strict spending cap - we must never to allow it to be weakened again, regardless of whether the folks advocating the weakening are Republicans or Democrats.
