Colorado income tax reform faces key vote

Jack Salmon presents Colorado voters with a significant policy decision on the state’s tax structure. Residents must choose between maintaining the 4.4% flat income tax or adopting a graduated system that tops out at 8.4%.

According to Salmon, Amendment 87 could generate roughly $2.7 billion each year for the state. However, he cautions that the economic consequences of this change may persist far beyond the initial revenue increases.
