TABOR Passes From House After Third Reading

HJR 23, commonly known as TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights),was passed out of the House on March 12 and will move to the Senate for consideration. If passed this constitutional amendment would create an appropriations and revenue growth lid for the state that would be the sum of inflation plus population growth. Both MSBA and MNEA have expressed very grave concerns over what TABOR could mean to funding of public education. (Please see earlier post for additional information on TABOR)

Superintendent Dr. Ridder, having experienced TABOR in Colorado, has expressed great concern over passage of this type of legislatilon as well.

The following is a list of the representatives (Springfield Reps. denoted in blue) and how they voted on TABOR:
