Propaganda alert - Taxpayer's Bill of Rights bus tour under way in Kansas

[atommom]

TOPEKA — Supporters of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights started a statewide bus tour today, but opponents warned Kansans to steer clear of the budget-limiting proposal.

TABOR is a proposed constitutional amendment that would require voter approval of state tax increases, limit state spending to the inflation rate and refund taxes above that amount. To be adopted, the amendment would need two-thirds approval in the state House and Senate, and then be OK’d by voters in a statewide election.

The amendment is patterned after one approved by Colorado voters in 1994. This year, however, facing a budget crisis, Coloradoans are going to the polls to change the amendment by suspending the law for five years.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said the problems in Colorado should be instructive to Kansans.
