Legislature mulls ballot measure that would ask voters to raise TABOR cap by billions primarily to fund Colorado's schools

  • Colorado lawmakers plan to introduce a ballot measure to raise the TABOR cap primarily to fund K-12 education.
  • The measure would raise the TABOR cap by the amount the state spends on K-12 education through the general fund.
  • Audits would be required to ensure funds are spent on reducing class sizes, boosting teacher pay and student preparation.
  • The proposal faces unknown fate at the ballot box, with past TABOR changes rejected by voters.
  • Supporters say the measure would prioritize education funding as costs rise across government programs.
  • If approved, the plan would gradually boost funding so K-12 gains are sustained year over year.
  • Legislators expect the cap increase to address a long-term structural gap in state budgeting.
  • Sen. Jeff Bridges champions the measure as a targeted solution for education funding.
  • Campaigns on both sides are weighing changes to TABOR and potential ballot measures this year.
  • Past debates show voters have rejected TABOR-related changes, affecting the likelihood of passage.
  • Key education advocates argue strengthening funding is necessary for progress.
