Passing this one would force local police departments to work more closely with ICE. Most Coloradans don’t want ICE coming into our communities — but voters were tricked into signing the petition to get this one on the ballot, as the Colorado Times Recorder has revealed. (Advance Colorado is behind this measure. As a dark money group, they don’t have to reveal their funding sources, but many people suspect they get a lot of money from the private prison industry, which would benefit from this law.)

Under this law, 97% of Coloradans would get a tax cut. Only the top 3% of income earners and corporations would pay more. By making the wealthiest pay a bit more, Colorado could raise billions to finally fund our schools, childcare, and healthcare systems.

This would impose greater criminal penalties for possessing any amount of fentanyl — even tiny amounts, even by accident. Studies have shown this does nothing to improve health outcomes or safety. Instead, it benefits the private prison industry. (Advance Colorado is behind this measure. As a dark money group, they don’t have to reveal their funding sources, but many people suspect they get a lot of money from the private prison industry, which would benefit from this law.)

This is billionaire-backed legislation proposed by the dark money group Advance Colorado. They want to cap taxes for the wealthy — which severely limits the revenue collected by the state — at a time when Colorado’s education and healthcare systems are already critically underfunded.
