Legislature mulls ballot measure that would ask voters to raise TABOR cap by billions primarily to fund Colorado’s schools
“This addresses that challenge and it does so in a way that guarantees that K-12 is the primary beneficiary of this,” [Sen. Jeff] Bridges said, saying it has “the potential to be one of the most transformative measures for K-12 funding” in a long time.
Colorado Democrats propose plan to ask voters for major TABOR change for K-12 funding
“(The Colorado Education Association) is working in partnership with teachers across the state to ask the legislature to consider increasing funding for K-12 public education by 2% every year for the next 10 years, paid for by raising the fiscal limit we have here in the state — raising the TABOR rationing limit — by what it is we spend on K-12 public education,” said Sen. Jeff Bridges, a Greenwood Village Democrat who’s vice chair of the powerful Joint Budget Committee.
