Meme of the cheating couple caught on a kiss cam. In the first picture they are happy, and it says "the people who don't want to reform TABOR because they love the refund checks..." In the second photo, they are ducking from the camera, and it says "that moment when the same people find out we won't get checks next year..."

TABOR supporters want you to think that we’ll get refund checks every year, but that’s flat-out wrong: Colorado officials have already said we won’t get them next year.

Tell legislators we’re not naive and need tax reform NOW! Send an email: bit.ly/reformTABOR

Colorado policymakers mull special session to fix budget hole Colorado legislators are considering a special session to cover a budget hole to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars — a deficit Democrats said will result from spending

Colorado is considering a special session to deal with the wreckage created by Congress. Filling the giant hole they created is incredibly difficult in Colorado, which is hamstrung by TABOR's constitutional spending restrictions. There are only bad choices. #copolitics #coleg bit.ly/4lngMXs

Seems like a pretty good reason to ask our leaders for fairer taxes, huh? bit.ly/reformTABOR

🚨TAKE ACTION FOR FAIR TAXES 🚨

It’s about damn time the wealthy pay what they owe in taxes – but in order for the top 1% to pay more than us, we have to reform our tax code (aka TABOR).

Tell your legislators we won’t back down until the ban is repealed! bit.ly/reformTABOR

@govofco.bsky.social is a Dem governor in a blue state. So why is he using GOP Right-To-Work talking points against a bill that will strengthen organizing in CO?
