Why Not Rely on Voters to Use Referenda to Exceed TABOR Limits?

• Making careful decisions on complex budget issues requires an investment of time that most voters don’t have

  • Representative democracy has served the state well for over a century

• Elections can be unduly influenced by special interests with lots of money for media advertising

• With low election turnout the norm, referenda don’t guarantee a greater “voice to the people”
