Colorado Springs Open Space Tax Survives Challenge

There’s a post in the Out There Blog today about the Colorado Springs Open Space Tax. Douglas Bruce has been trying to kill it because it wasn’t presented as a tax to voters in 2002. I voted for it and I really don’t remember how it was worded but it was pretty clear to me it would be costing me money. For the most part, I’m against more taxes but this is one that I get a lot of benefit from. There’s a lot of things I don’t agree with Bruce on but I think he really has helped keep our taxes down.

I certainly hope that this will eventually allow Section 16 to be bought and saved from development. Since high school it has been one of my favorite places to mountain bike. Now with a trail connecting it to the Red Rock Canyon Open Space, there are even more ride options.
