Pueblo Coordinated Election

Coming ballot issues up for vote on November 5, 2019:

What voter in their right mind would EVER vote for something like this?

 “....a voter-approved revenue change that may be collected, retained, and spent by the county consistent with this ballot issue but without statutory or constitutional limitation or condition, including article X, section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, section 29-1-301, Colorado revised statutes, or ANY other law?”

EVERY 'ballot issue' has this paragraph attached! When you ask voters to knowingly, willingly, and ILLEGALLY violate the document that was meant to RESTRAIN government, not allow it to arbitrarily grant itself MORE power, you know you are committing treason!

Ballot Issue No. 1A Vote: NO

By your own admission you are wanting to violate the Colorado Constitution yet AGAIN! This time you want NO restrictions on where and how you 'spend' those funds. As a constituent and registered voter I say absolutely NOT! This sounds like a ponzi scheme, with tax payer funds, to pocket the money and NOT be accountable for it! Section 20 already states, in part “ Revenue collected, kept, or spent illegally since four full fiscal years before a suit is filed shall be refunded with 10% annual simple interest from the initial conduct. “ admitting the state/county/local government(s) already knows they are, have been, and/or will in the future 'illegally' spend tax payer funds!

Ballot Issue No. 1B: Vote: NO

Increase taxes on marijuana (cannabis)? Really?? We, the residents of Pueblo, have already been asked/refunded the EXCESS tax you collected on 'marijuana' sales because you can't keep your accounting straight. Within this ballot the authors admit they are NOT going to fund more scholarships and put the increased funds toward the over crowding problem at the jail. NO, more taxes until YOU can spend the already collected funds on projects YOU said needed to be funded with the previous tax increases! Having the LOWEST 'marijuana' tax rates in the state is a GOOD thing! As for the over crowding in the Pueblo county jail or the Pueblo city jail, maybe the law makers should STOP making laws that violate the citizens rights, while aiding and abetting the criminal illegals in this city/state, and stop arresting citizens for disobeying those unConstitutional restrictions you want to call laws! Article X, Section 20, of the Colorado Constitution, already states, in part “Revenue collected, kept, or spent illegally since four full fiscal years before a suit is filed shall be refunded with 10% annual simple interest from the initial conduct.” admitting the state/county/local government(s) already knows they are, have been, and/or will in the future 'illegally' spend tax payer funds! Now you want remove the ability for the citizens to hold the city accountable for violating ANY law!

Ballot Issue No. 4A Vote: NO

WHY do the schools have such HUGE debts? Issues at the schools should have been addressed BEFORE they became 'critical' issues! The fact that the schools are in debt, needing 'critical' repairs, and requesting MORE tax payer funds tells me that previous funding was NOT used appropriately!Creating a Citizen's Bond Advisory Committee, aka wasting more tax payer funds, to 'ensure transparency of spending associated with the bond issue' is an admission the city has, in the past, and will in the future misappropriate funds if they are not carefully watched.

Ballot Issue No. 4B Vote NO

For the same reasons as Ballot Issue No. 4A!

Ballot Issue No. 5A Vote: NO

Once bonds for schools are issued there is NO end to the 'payments' or the requested increase in taxes. Schools, politicians, city council members, and state representatives see a money pit. When they run out of money, because the requested amount is NEVER enough, they turn to the residents and request more and more and more... with no end in sight.

Ballot Issue No. 6A Vote: NO

Pueblo West, wants to be their own city/town, and now want the entire state to raise taxes to fund a fire department for them?! The entire state of Colorado should not be investing in ONE small development! Another 'exception' to the Colorado Constitution, imagine that! You want the residents of the city of Pueblo to vote on 'issues' that will affect the ENTIRE state – what kind of garbage are you trying to sell? 

Ballot Issue No. 6B Vote: NO

All taxes are just one of the many ways governments punish the residents of a city, county, state, and/or nation for being a citizen! You are being VERY serious about NOT being restrained by ANY law while punishing the citizens for MINOR infractions of the unConstitutional restrictions YOU want to call laws!

Ballot Issue 6C Vote: NO

Again you want to knowingly, willingly, and illegally violate the Colorado Constitution. Since you can't/won't/don't operate within the parameters of the restriction set forth in the Constitution maybe it is time for ALL residents of Colorado to rethink the elected officials we have 'running' the various governments!

Since the citizens/residents of Pueblo voted NO on a previous ballot issue to allow “a voter-approved revenue change that may be collected, retained, and spent by the county consistent with this ballot issue but without statutory or constitutional limitation or condition, including article X, section 20 of the Colorado Constitution, section 29-1-301, Colorado revised statutes, or ANY other law.” you think it is appropriate to put it on ALL ballot issues?

NO means NO!
