Ballot measure seeks to give Colorado voters ‘full picture’ of future tax changes with income table

Colorado’s 2022 ballot features a measure that could have major implications for future voter-approved changes to the state’s income tax code.

If approved, Proposition GG would add a table breaking down proposed income tax changes by income level to future ballot measures, providing the “full picture” of their impact and potentially overcoming a hurdle that has long frustrated progressive tax reformers.

Under current law, tax initiatives receive a fiscal analysis by nonpartisan state legislative staff, including a table summarizing changes by income level, which is included in the statewide ballot information booklet, or “Blue Book,” each election year.
