Kim discusses two really “bad boys” (subsidized housing and school lunches) on your November 2022 statewide ballot. Proposition FF (aka Healthy School Meals For All) would increase state taxes by 100-107 million annually to support healthy meals being served in schools & would cap state income tax deductions for those with annual adjusted gross incomes of $300,000 or more. It isn’t the proper role of government to decide what children eat in school.

Proposition 123 supports creating the State Affordable Housing Fund & would dedicate 0.1% of state revenue to supporting affordable housing. Proposition 123 will enable the government to use government money to buy up property that could instead go to potential homeowners.

Governor Polis’s Record on Special Interest Tax Benefits

Contrary to his campaign pledge, Jared Newsom Polis increased special interest tax benefits during his first term in a direct violation of his promise to cut them. Director of Fiscal Policy at the Independence Institute Ben Murrey explains. Murrey published a report in mid September on tax expenditure modifications that Polis has been involved with since 2019. Additionally, Polis signed legislation that significantly increases the costs for everyday, hard-working Coloradans to live. Polis’s activity indicates that he wishes to take away/decrease tax benefits (in order to redistribute more wealth to the upper classes), which goes against what he claims to support. Polis and other politicians are leveraging climate change as an issue to further their own agendas. Listen to the full interview in the second hour.
