NEW GENERAL FUND SPENDING AFTER REFERENDUM C
Passage of Referendum C (Ref C), on November 1, 2005, demonstrated the willingness of Colorado voters to invest more of their money in public programs and services. The “five year time out” from the TABOR inflation plus population spending limitation will add nearly $4 billion to state spending. This $4 billion will not only be used for programs and services. How much will be appropriated for programs and services is under discussion and decisions of the General Assembly will affect the outcome.
