The bad news is Prop C passed. The good news is voters said no to billions in borrowing and the TABOR limits are suspended for... five years.

I think folks are generally happy with TABOR, but the truth is that it creates a lot of unnecessary cash-flow problems. The issues addressed by Prop C are legitimate, and unfortunately the only way to fix them was with a hammer.

What really needs to happen is that TABOR needs to be tweaked based on lessons learned over the past several years. If it's not tweaked, eventually Ds will use its structural problems to get it tossed out.

I'm sick of you running around FR acting like you know whats best for Colorado, when you don't know anything about the Centennial State. NOTHING! Stick to your own home state. California is so screwed up its pathetic. I voted for Referandum C (against Ref D) and while I wanted it limited to 2-3 years, the fact remains, Ref C will allow Colorado to rebuild is infrastructure --- roads, highways, bridges, schools, etc. etc. etc. TABOR is still the law in Colorado and there will be no tax increases. This is a one time deal. The people have spoken and the letter of the law was followed.
