Governor works to get rid of Taxpayer Bill of Rights measures via ballot initiative
Gov. Bill Ritter said last Thursday that he is working with groups outside the Capitol to craft a 2011 ballot initiative that would eliminate aspects of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. Speaking to members of the Colorado Alliance for Retired Americans ”” an arm of the AFL-CIO union ”” Ritter explained how Colorado’s constitution makes it difficult for lawmakers to prevent severe budget cuts to departments such as human services and public safety.
