Amendment 87 Survives Signature Challenge, But Could It Still Be Overturned? | Colorado Inside Out

Colorado's Amendment 87 will remain on the November ballot after a judge dismissed a last-minute legal challenge over the validity of petition signatures. But the legal battle may not be over. The measure would replace Colorado's flat income tax with a graduated system, lowering rates for some taxpayers while increasing them for higher earners. Our Colorado Inside Out panelists debate the proposed tax changes, questions about the petition process, concerns over the measure's economic impact and whether another court challenge could follow if voters approve it. The discussion also raises broader questions about Colorado's citizen initiative process and whether complex policy decisions belong on the ballot.
