DENVER—Grizzled pioneers started Colorado’s government, but few have caused it more trouble than iconoclast Douglas Bruce.
Bruce was the engineer of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, a 1992 tax-limiting measure still widely praised and panned for curbing government. He went on to serve in the state Legislature as a Republican and earned the first formal censure in the history of the Colorado House.
Now, a year after leaving office, Bruce is still giving public officials heartburn.
He’s been linked in court documents to three ballot proposals to further restrict the government’s ability to tax. Bruce has been ordered to court Monday to answer a subpoena, though he insists he’s not associated with the current measures.
