Colorado taxpayers recently received a $750 check from Governor Jared Polis with a letter highlighting “Colorado Cashback”. This is your money in the form of a TABOR refund because the government taxed you too much and had to return it.

Much has been in the news lately on this largesse, but do most folks understand TABOR and what it means? We are getting ready to post an in-depth article on the history of TABOR that will hopefully make it clearer and demonstrate why TABOR is so important to Colorado taxpayers. Until the article is posted enjoy the video below from the Independence Institute with Ben Murrey, the Fiscal Policy Center Director.

Jon Caldera and Ben Murrey discuss TABOR refunds.

Jon Caldera and Ben Murrey also hit on the Colorado Retail Delivery Fee of 27 cents on most deliveries to your home. Keep an eye out for this “fee”.
