What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Voters approved Proposition NN and Amendment 87 in Colorado, which were backed by Democrats and liberal groups. This change represents the biggest shift to state fiscal policy since 1992. The state’s flat income tax was replaced by a system where higher earners pay more, and the cap on state retained revenue was removed.
