The City of Colorado Springs is at it again. In a July 1 article in the Colorado Springs Gazette, reporter Daniel Chacon details the new fees that the Sub-committee of the “Sustainable Funding Committee” will be proposing at the July 27 City Council Meeting. You can find Daniel’s entire story here.
- An employee head-tax levied on companies that employ people in the City of Colorado Springs
- A $10-$20 annual vehicle registration fee – on top of the new registration fees enacted by the Democrat-controlled Legislature and the Democrat Governor
- Extending the city’s sales tax to cell phones
- Extending the city’s sales tax to cigarettes
- Implementing a special sales tax on alcohol
- Increasing car rental rates
- If you tax employers for each employee, will they want to expand their business in Colorado Springs, or will they choose to expand elsewhere?
- If you tax alcohol and cigarettes, isn’t that an incentive for me to go outside of the city limits to buy those products?
- Is this really good for Colorado businesses who fund a portion of the city budget through their business taxes?
