Marx Says More About Taxes than Weiser in Gubernatorial Race
Analysts say replacing the flat income tax could raise taxpayer costs by $2.7 billion to $4 billion if Amendment 87 passes.
- With the November 3 general election approaching, the gubernatorial race between Republican Victor Marx and Democrat Phil Weiser centers on economic policy as voters consider Amendment 87, which would replace the state's flat income tax with a graduated model.
- Voters are deciding whether to continue the Democrats' 15-year stronghold in the executive branch; analysts warn the state could see a $2.7 billion to $4 billion tax increase if the amendment passes.
- Criticizing Gov. Polis for "setting $4 billion of taxpayer money on fire," Marx pledged to cut spending by "DOGE'ing" the budget, while Weiser aims to boost affordable homes by 40,000.
- Marx's accountability platform faces scrutiny after his campaign received a nearly $60,000 fine, the largest in state history, for accepting illegal contributions, though Buddy Jericho, a campaign spokesperson, stated the organization takes full accountability.
- Both candidates advocate for workforce development as Marx and Weiser seek to expand apprenticeship programs to drive economic growth, with the election outcome determining the state's fiscal path.
