(There are no "time-outs" - promoted by Fong)
Colorado Springs, home of groups such as Focus on the Family, apparently has had enough with their Ayn Rand experiment. Their Mayor is calling for a time out from their own version of the Orwellian named "Tax Payer Bill of Rights"
Rivera wants the change because the city's budget has been shrinking dramatically during the nation's economic plunge. TABOR sets a revenue cap for the city government that's based on what have been declining collections of sales and use taxes, meaning it could be years before the city could spend at pre-recession levels. Rivera said such a TABOR timeout would be the only way city government can recover from the economic recession.
More after the jump...(including a poll!)
