Politics reporter Marshall Zelinger of KRDO-Channel 13 in Colorado Springs did some digging in a recent report on Proposition 101. Instead of relying on talking heads and bullet points, Marshall decided to find out what Prop 101 would mean to him, as a resident of El Paso County who pays an ownership tax when he renews his license plates.
Proposition 101 would blow gigantic holes in the state's budget, but it also would wreck local budgets. Among its many reckless provisions, Prop 101 would slash the vehicle ownership tax over time to $2 for new cars and $1 for used cars.
