This week on Colorado Chamber Office Hours, host Ed Sealover breaks down two competing measures on Colorado’s November ballot. Amendment 87 would replace the state’s flat income tax with a graduated structure, while Proposition 136 would cap the income tax rate at 4.4% for individuals and corporations.
Chris deGruy Kennedy, president and CEO of the Bell Policy Center, explains why he believes a graduated income tax is necessary to address Colorado’s revenue needs and fund state services. Kristi Burton Brown, executive vice president of the Advance Colorado Institute, discusses why limiting future income tax increases would give employers greater certainty and help Colorado remain competitive.
Tune in for a closer look at the competing proposals and what each could mean for Colorado businesses, taxpayers and the state’s economy.
