Bipartisan Collaboration Drives Rethinking of TABOR Surplus Allocation. Debate Intensifies Over Temporary Nature of Proposed Tax Credits. According to FOX31 as the Colorado legislative session draws to a close lawmakers are diving deep into discussions around the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) and how extra state revenue should be divvied up among residents. Both Democrats and Republicans are joining forces to rethink the way this surplus cash is allocated leaning towards offering tax credits instead of straightforward rebates. This shift in strategy has garnered support from advocates who argue that such an approach which includes broadening the earned income tax credit and introducing a family affordability tax credit will provide more direct assistance to those with lower incomes and help alleviate child poverty. Despite concerns about the temporary nature of these proposed tax credits supporters stress their potential to make a significant difference for struggling families particularly in times of economic downturns.
