Colorado Voters Reject Proposition HH, Dealing Blow to Property Tax Relief Measure

Colorado voters rejected Proposition HH, a property tax relief and education-funding measure pushed by the state's Democratic leaders. Over 60% of voters rejected the measure, which aimed to address large property tax increases expected next year. The defeat marks the second time in four years that voters have rejected attempts by state Democrats to raise spending limits under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. Supporters argued that the measure would provide relief from property tax increases and boost education funding, while opponents saw it as an end-run around the TABOR amendment. The outcome leaves uncertainty about the pathway forward for property tax relief in the state.
