LOVELAND , Colo. — A year after Loveland voters approved a measure that eliminated a 3% sales tax on groceries, they are being asked this year to approve ballot measure 2E, a 1% sales tax increase on non-food items.The additional funds from the proposed increase would help patch the city's multi-million dollar budget shortfall, which was created by ballot question 300, the 3% grocery tax elimination, passed by voters in 2023.

Leanne Lindberg described the library as her happy place and is now concerned about changes that could happen not only to the library but also to other public services in the city. She explained that most people she talks to have no idea the food tax is no longer in existence.'Some of the people who voted for it didn't realize the ramifications of all the cuts that would be happening,' said Lindberg.
