Colorado's 2013 Legislative Session


The Colorado Union of Taxpayers has begun the 2013 Legislative season with an initial look at the 89 House Bills and 79 Senate Bills already being inflicted on Colorado's Taxpayers.

In June of last year, CUT released its 2012 Legislature Scorecard detailing legislator's votes on the thirty-one bills included in the Ratings publication. (See 2012 ratings here).

Retiring Senator Shawn Mitchell and retiring Representative Don Beezley both representing Broomfield earned CUT Taxpayer Champion designations. Senator Mitchell scored 90%; Representative Beezley 96%.

Retiring Senator Timothy Neville, Littleton, and Representative Randy Baumgardner, Hot Sulfur Springs, earned CUT Taxpayer Guardian status. Senator Neville came in at 89% and Representative Baumgardner 93%.

In 2012 Colorado Union of Taxpayers presented each Chamber, during the session, with eighteen (18) position reports covering ninty-six (96) bills. Of these bills, thirty-one (31) were rated. To be included in our Ratings, bills must be voted by one full Chamber and either Committee or full House/Senate vote of the other Chamber.

The board of CUT anticipates a 2013 legislative session with unprescidented expenditures based on numerous efforts across the state to increase the size and scope of government at great cost to the taxpayers.

We hope we are wrong, but anticipate the need for CUT to advocate for the rights of families and individuals to keep their hard earned dollars will be more urgent than ever.

Our goal is to remind the Legislators, we, the taxpayers, are well able to make our own decisions on how we spend our own money. The job of the Colorado Assemby is to enforce our freedoms to establish contracts between one-another and not to simply redistribute our earnings as they see fit.

Founded in 1976, the Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) is Colorado's longest-serving advocacy group for taxpayers.
