CIVIC Conversations: TABOR – Friend or Foe?
August 17 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Some of the most important conversations in our community begin with the simple goal of understanding.
Join us for the next CIVIC Conversations as we explore one of Colorado’s most debated constitutional amendments: the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR).
Before debating possible changes to TABOR, let’s first understand how it impacts our economy, our communities and our quality of life.
Since Colorado voters approved TABOR in 1992, it has been praised by some as an important safeguard on government growth while others argue it limits the state’s ability to invest in critical public services. Over the years, portions of the amendment have been modified, challenged and debated, yet it remains one of the defining features of Colorado’s fiscal landscape.
As voters prepare to consider potential changes this November, this conversation is an opportunity to better understand what TABOR is, how it works and why it continues to generate passionate discussion across our state.
CIVIC Conversations exists to foster thoughtful dialogue around issues that matter to Northern Colorado. Whether you arrive with strong opinions or simply a desire to learn, you’ll leave with greater context and a deeper understanding of the topic.
