Colorado Springs Gazette and the Independent say to VOTE NO on 1A
Today I read a nicely written piece by Sean Paige on the danger of supporting 1A. I learned that both the Colorado Springs Gazette – and the Colorado Springs Independent recommend a “no” vote.
“Here we see the crux of the problem with 1A — and with the growing enthusiasm for playing “the incentives game” among the city’s political and business elite. Once you surrender to such approaches, and agree to pay private entities or businesses not to leave, you open the taxpayers to a never-ending series of shakedowns, with no clear basis for picking winners and losers except the whims of local politicians.” Read more on Local Liberty’s website
“Backers of 1A like to pretend that these “jobs creation” activities will be virtually cost-free, by consistently minimizing the burden they’ll impose on homeowners and other businesses, when, in fact, they’ll be taking $51 million from some pockets in order to line other pockets.”
