Voters in CO finally did that with our TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights) amendment. After years of trying to break it, with the help of big-labor-government-business, voters this year fell for a time-out from it. It was a sad state of affairs to see that happen. Now, the state legislature will have more money to waste. (Gettin awful close to your number, aren't we. LOL)
Actually we went by it so we have to start all over!
