In August, I asked Front Range Passenger Rail District for the receipts using public funds to campaign. They told me CORA cost $586, I didn't pay it. Grateful that Andy Kenney (Denverite) covered the story about the abuse of a campaign finance loophole. denverite.com/2026/10/01/fro…

Two Jeffco R-1 School District tax hikes (5A & 5B) headed to voters after tonight's meeting. Probably take a CORA to figure out how much Hilltop Solutions and CRL Associates raked in for this PR job beginning 2024 through now.

Details that voters will need to know.
“Initiative 195’s six new marginal tax brackets are not indexed for inflation, meaning that as people’s incomes increase—partly from real increases in wages but largely due to inflation—they will be pushed into higher brackets over time, thus paying an ever-higher income tax rate, while the brackets stay at the same nominal level.”

Blue Book 2nd drafts are fresh off the press for more public comment. We made a difference, see the new draft short title and clarity on "any purpose". Odd, CEA helped write Prop NN and their website asserts: "It is limited to K-12 only and cannot be used for anything else."
