Ward 5
Statewide ballot questions
Proposition CC
Question as it will appear on the ballot:
WITHOUT RAISING TAXES AND TO BETTER FUND PUBLIC SCHOOLS, HIGHER EDUCATION, AND ROADS, BRIDGES, AND TRANSIT, WITHIN A BALANCED BUDGET, MAY THE STATE KEEP AND SPEND ALL THE REVENUE IT ANNUALLY COLLECTS AFTER JUNE 30, 2019, BUT IS NOT CURRENTLY ALLOWED TO KEEP AND SPEND UNDER COLORADO LAW, WITH AN ANNUAL INDEPENDENT AUDIT TO SHOW HOW THE RETAINED REVENUES ARE SPENT?
Voters are being asked whether they will allow the state to keep revenue that's above the state's spending cap. That revenue would then be spent on education and transportation. If voters decide against the measure, the state will continue to give any money over its revenue limit back to taxpayers, as required by the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.
Proposition DD
Question as it will appear on the ballot:
SHALL STATE TAXES BE INCREASED BY TWENTY-NINE MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY TO FUND STATE WATER PROJECTS AND COMMITMENTS AND TO PAY FOR THE REGULATION OF SPORTS BETTING THROUGH LICENSED CASINOS BY AUTHORIZING A TAX ON SPORTS BETTING OF TEN PERCENT OF NET SPORTS BETTING PROCEEDS, AND TO IMPOSE THE TAX ON PERSONS LICENSED TO CONDUCT SPORTS BETTING OPERATIONS?
Voters are being asked whether sports betting should be legalized and taxed in Colorado. If the measure passes, the taxes from sports betting would be used to fund water projects and 'water-related obligations,' officials said. The taxes would also fund the regulation of sports betting, a hold harmless fund and gambling addiction services.
