DENVER — By now, most Colorado voters have heard of Proposition HH, but little attention has been paid to another state ballot measure voters must decide on a week from today, Proposition II.
Universal preschool is something Lisa Weil, the executive director of Great Education Colorado, champions. The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights , which is part of Colorado’s constitution, requires revenue collected above what the state projected for that particular year to be refunded to taxpayers. In this case, the money would go back to wholesalers and distributors of tobacco and nicotine products.If voters agree, $18 million would go to preschools, and the rest, $5.6 million, would go to the state’s general fund.
"We opposed Proposition EE in 2020 and would oppose any effort by the state to keep additional tax revenue,” the guide said. “Colorado has enough tax dollars."
