The fiscally conservative members of the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners have come out in opposition to three ballot issues that opponents say could have catastrophic consequences for local and state government.

The five-member board is set to ratify a resolution on Thursday that states that Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101 would "have a long-lasting detrimental impact on the residents of El Paso County." The pending vote follows an Aug. 19 discussion on the measures.
