Ballot Measures!!
Hear directly from experts on each of these subjects - we had a great zoom with speakers from across the state. Recording available at link below!
Ballot Measures | Overview | Considerations | LPC Dems | CO LWV | CO ACLU | CO Dems |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Retain Current Elected Judges and Justices | Both Sheriff Smith and DA Murray support ALL current justices / judges. | |||||
Amd G | Modify Property Tax Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities | |||||
Amd H | Establish an Independent Judicial Discipline Board | |||||
Amd I | Constitutional Bail Exception for First Degree Murder | Concern that the language "pre-judges" guilt without a trial. | ||||
Amd J | Repealing the Definition of Marriage in the Constitution | |||||
Amd K | Modify Constitutional Election Deadlines | County Clerks have requested this. | ||||
Amd 79 | Right to Abortion | |||||
Amd 80 | School Choice in K-12 Education | School choice already protected. Opens door to use public taxpayer dollars for private, even religious schools | ||||
Prop JJ | Retain Additional Sports Betting Tax Revenue to Fund Water Conservation and Protection Projects | |||||
Prop KK | Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax to Fund Mental Health Services for Veterans, Youth, etc | |||||
Prop 127 | Prohibit Bobcat, Lynx, and Mountain Lion Hunting | Trapping is awful, but big cats are already well regulated by CO DOW. | ||||
Prop 128 | Concerning Eligibility for Parole | Increases risks of recidivism; increases costs to prisons; delays "earned time credits" for participating in education, rehab programs. | ||||
Prop 129 | Establishing Veterinary Professional Associates | VPAs would not be accedited, may not even have hands on training but would be allowed to do surgeries and diagnoses of animals. | ||||
Prop 130 | Funding for Law Enforcement | No money for it in budget, but additional funds really needed as costs - employee wages, vehicles, body cams have increased substantially. | ||||
Prop 131 | Establishing All-Candidate Primary and Ranked Choice Voting General Elections | Read this. La Plata Dems are all personally FOR RCV but this one is poorly written. |
