Democrats once again kicked the budget deficit can down the road and raised taxes on hardworking Coloradans. This so-called “Special Session” did nothing for taxpayers or small businesses — it was not a budget session, it was a spending session.

Instead of addressing our spending problem, Democrats:

📈 Increased taxes on individuals and small businesses

💸 Slashed the vendor fee that helped small businesses offset the costs of collecting sales taxes for the state — pulling thousands of dollars out of their pockets

🏦 Created a corporate giveaway scheme that sells $250 million worth of tax credits to insurance companies for just $200 million

📜 Violated the Constitution and TABOR by raising taxes without a vote of the people

🐺 Ignored real reforms — like cutting spending or ending the costly wolf reintroduction program

The session adjourned yesterday, August 26th, with taxpayers left holding the bill. One-party Democrat control failed to balance the budget, failed to protect small businesses, and failed to respect voters.

The Special Taxing Session deserves an F- and that grade belongs squarely to Colorado Democrats and Governor Polis.

In Liberty,

Republican Party of Colorado

P.S. Colorado can’t afford more one-party control. The only way to stop Democrats from raising taxes and ignoring our Constitution is to elect more Republicans to the legislature. If you’re ready to help us fight back, chip in today — every dollar makes a difference.
