Property tax measure begins to campaign for support
The quality of life in Colorado Springs is up to you. That’s the message behind a campaign that began Thursday morning, pushing for a November ballot measure. Maintaining city parks will be one of the first things to go, according to Colorado Springs City Councilwoman Jan Martin and others in support of the Worth Fighting For campaign. “It’s really going to be all about the citizens having the right to vote on what kind of city they want,” says Martin, “and the quality of life they choose.” Martin and campaign supporters say city services as we know them are in jeopardy.
