THE LEGISLATURE WANTS OUR ROADS TO SUCK That is the only conclusion I can draw from House Bill 26-1430, passed at the end of the session, whose sole purpose is to screw taxpayers who have the nerve to vote for Initiative 175. What is 175?

Initiative 175 would constitutionally require a shift of transportation taxes Coloradans already pay on cars, tires, and gas to fund roads and bridges. Instead of this money disappearing into the general fund to pay for whatever shortfall the state faces each budget year, the money generated from motor vehicles would go to roads.

That is what we all probably think is happening already, but no. The Democratically controlled body raids transportation funds FIRST to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens or boob jobs for dudes who think they are women. But here’s where it gets good, and by good I mean you’re not going to believe this crap. The legislature is SO MAD that we may force them to spend the taxes and fees they told us would be spent on roads ACTUALLY ON ROADS, they passed HB 26-1430. What does that do? It literally CUTS THE TAXES so there will be no money for roads, and it ONLY does so if 175 passes. These aholes sponsored this bill. Shoot them a polite email and tell them how little you appreciate their giant middle finger to voters:
