DENVER—There will be no statewide measure on this year’s November ballot, saving the state $1.7 million in election costs, the Colorado Secretary of State said Monday.
This is the first time since 1992’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights stipulated tax-related measures be voted on in odd years that there is no statewide measure. Monday would have been the deadline for proponent of measures to submit the required 76,047 valid signatures to place measures on the ballot.
The two candidates for this year’s ballot were “Imposition and Distribution of Severance Tax on Oil and Gas” and “Higher Education Funding Fee on New Construction.”
Secretary of State Mike Coffman said proponents submitted no signatures for either measure.
