TABOR isn't perfect by any means.  But, unfortunately, our elected officials have shown for many years that they will spend whatever they have and always want more.  Lacking a better control for runaway taxes I'll take TABOR.  Don't forget-there is an opportunity to override TABOR restrictions, or "De-Bruce". The requesting entity simply needs to make their case to the taxpayers.  The Colorado Municipal League will tell you that few, if any, instances of a governmental body requesting to "De-Bruce" have been turned down by the voters. But it is because care is being used in what and how much is requested and good explanations are made about why it is needed.
