TABOR Update - Call to Action
Jessica McBride @ Media Matters has an update. She has some inside info on the Grothman version of TABOR.
Yes, it may be ready within two weeks, but there is still much doubt that the version that Glenn (Grothman) is drafting (ad naseum) will actually LIMIT STATE SPENDING. The most recently floated version exempts a boat-load of state spending including aids to local government. The theory is that pass-through money that goes to schools, counties and municipal governments should fall outside of the inflation + growth formula we may be in for a revolt by conservatives if a pseudo-TABOR is introduced.Jessica has a note to base conservatives that we need to rise to the occasion and DEMAND a real TABOR. I am going to hit TABOR hard till it succeeds. So should all of us.
If you read between the lines, you will see exactly what all of us have heard the guy who actually hates TABOR, never campaigned on the issue, and wishes it would go away, doesn't really intend to deliver tough limits on spending for the state.
