Prop HH and TABOR Panel Discussion

We are excited to invite you to the Southern Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce's Proposition HH and TABOR Panel Discussion! This educational panel will bring together City and County officials, as well as leaders from State-wide organizations, to provide members with an impact-based perspective on the upcoming ballot measure. The event will focus on the impacts Proposition HH will have on revenue, the legal issues associated with the initiative, and the implications for the City's TABOR policies. 

The October 19 panel discussion will provide factual, nonpartisan information on Proposition HH, to include information on the amount of property tax relief versus the reduction in TABOR refunds. Panel members will also explain how much of the state's withholding TABOR refunds will go to property tax relief and how the rest of the money will be spent.
