Republicans in Colorado’s General Assembly haven’t had much to celebrate over the past few years. With a historic majority in the Colorado House, a supermajority in the Senate, and control of the governorship, in general, Democrats have passed their agenda items and stymied the GOP’s.

Still, one such item, Senate Bill 303, “Reduce Property Taxes and Voter-approved Revenue Change,” also required voters’ approval to take effect. The bill was the Democrats’ plan to address skyrocketing property taxes in Colorado and it passed through the legislature in May over Republicans’ vehement objections.
