Colorado voters are facing a crucial decision this year, with several ballot measures that could have a significant impact on the state's economy and competitiveness. One of the most contentious measures is Amendment 87, which would amend the state constitution to delete the language from the Taxpayer Bill of Rights that says Colorado has to have a flat income tax rate. This change would impose a range of new tax rates, potentially raising costs for small businesses and residents.

In this episode, Ross discusses the implications of Amendment 87 with JJ Ament, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has a strong "no" recommendation on the amendment, citing concerns about its potential impact on the state's economy and competitiveness. According to JJ, the amendment would make Colorado a less attractive place to do business, particularly for small businesses, which are already struggling with the state's high cost of living.

The discussion highlights the complexities of the amendment, including the potential for tax rates to increase over time due to inflation. JJ also notes that the amendment's proponents are using a clever marketing strategy to make it seem like a tax cut for most voters, but this ignores the economic reality of how Colorado competes with other states.

If you're interested in learning more about Amendment 87 and why it's a concern for Colorado's economy, tune in to this episode to hear the full conversation with JJ Ament.
