Near a banner that read, “Putting $400 in Coloradans’ pockets,” Gov. Jared Polis touted the plan as “another big step to save people money.” Left unsaid was taxpayers were already set to get back hundreds in tax refunds that come from the same source.
“I think the timing is interesting. It’s just before a critical campaign in which we, the Republicans, believe we have a chance to make significant gains. realize that, and so this is just a campaign trick. It doesn’t really help anybody very much above what they would get through the normal process.”
But he and other Democrats insisted they did not mean to distort reality when they stood with the governor to announce their “very simple” tax refund plan.TABOR requires the state to refund tax revenue in strong economic years, and the 2021-22 fiscal year wrapping in June has been unusually strong. So much so, in fact, that the state is poised to send back north of $2 billion — the highest total in a generation.
That, of course, is not how the program was sold in its rollout. Democrats didn’t get into details on how the majority of taxpayers — that is, the roughly 75% of adults in the state who make under $100,000 — will see one-time increases in TABOR refunds that are nowhere near $400 above what was already scheduled. Neither did they say that the top four of the state’s six designated income tiers will lose money.
So, it is hard to lay the groundwork for the anti-TABOR movement, Democrats often say, because their side’s argument contains so much more nuance than the pitch Republicans can make. Political messaging is already hard, McCluskie added — especially on this topic.
