Our state is struggling because our state constitution requires we maintain a balanced budget and simultaneously we cannot raise taxes directly through the legislature due to TABOR. I support eliminating the harmful effects of TABOR that restrict the legislature's ability to raise taxes. I support redirecting spending priorities that take away much needed services. For example, we spend nearly dollar for dollar on Corrections as we do for Higher Education. I would shift this balance to favor education over incarceration.
