TABOR dies in Colorado

Voters in Colorado reversed course and suspended the so-called Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) in Tuesday's election.

Supporters of the idea in Wisconsin have used Colorado as an example to push the idea here, but after its negative effects on their state economy, voters there thought better of it and chose to ditch the idea. They even gave up tax refunds in order to improve the state (that's sure to make Grover Norquist cringe).

The Cap Times has an article about how the Colorado vote is damaging to the campaign to bring TABOR to Wisconsin.
