On November 3rd, in Colorado Springs (or earlier if you have mail-in ballots), you'll be faced with a vote for two issues:
2C - The doubling of property taxes
300 - The abolishing of Storm Water Tax
You've probably seen a lot more signs stuck on intersections telling you to vote FOR 2C than to vote AGAINST it, and the signs asking you to vote 'yes' try to persuade you to keep our parks, our buses, save our cops and firemen, etc. But remember--this is the city's way of trying to increase taxes on YOU to dig itself out of its near-bankruptcy. They are using 'city services' as blackmail: "Vote yes on these new taxes, or we'll take these things away from the public".
Vote NO on 2C, or your property taxes will double. Don't own property? Your rent will go up, because your landlord's or apartment complex's taxes will go up, and they'll pass the burden on to you. 2C is about squeezing more taxes from the people to deal with the city's problems and corruption, instead of managing city money more responsibly.
300 is an issue to enforce the abolishing of the city's "Storm Water Tax", which was a BS tax that stole money from the people of Colorado Springs and never accomplished anything other than lining pockets. Last voting season, the people actually voted to end the Storm Water Tax, and the city did not comply. This time, the people trying again to make sure this bogus tax is eliminated, but the city has drafted the in a way intended to confuse voters into voting in a way that would 'save' the tax, when a voter intends to vote the tax down.
Vote FOR 300 if you want to eliminate the Storm Tax. FOR.
----
Vote NO on 2C and keep the corrupt city officials from lining their pockets more with your hard-earned money.
Vote FOR 300 to eliminate a tax that accomplishes nothing more than simple extortion of its citizens.
