Despite losing a federal case several years ago, liberals in the legislature are at it again, working to pass a Resolution that would force taxpayers to fund a lawsuit challenging TABOR. The Resolution has passed the House and will now go to the Senate. Advance Colorado President Michael Fields and Executive Vice President Kristi Burton Brown discuss the details on why this effort will fail, and why a large majority of Coloradans support our Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.

The Colorado Association of Police Chiefs recently penned a letter to Governor Polis and legislative leaders, urging them to pass legislation to make Colorado safer and to reject extreme legislation that allows more criminals on the streets and crime in our neighborhoods.

In the letter, the Chiefs wrote, "Your constituents have clearly expressed their priorities—voting overwhelmingly to support Proposition 130 ($350 million for law enforcement) and Proposition 128 (truth in sentencing). They expect legislative action that aligns with these values."

These two measures were sponsored by Advance Colorado in 2024, and we continue to work with law enforcement to pursue future measures to further public safety, especially in policy areas where the legislature refuses to listen to citizens and the law enforcement community.

In this new op-ed for The Gazette, Yazmin Navarro -- who also serves on the State Board of Education -- details specific ways parents can get involved in the education system here in Colorado. She writes, "Remember, our kids are first and foremost our children. They do not belong to the school system. ... Parental involvement in education must no longer be merely an academic exercise. Instead, it is a necessary accountability check on school districts and their board members, superintendents, administrators, counselors and teachers."
