If you’re fairly new to Colorado elections or are still a little fuzzy on why we have the Blue Book, TABOR book, and Ballot Question 200, this is your episode. I explain the Blue Book (it’s a big ol thing this year at 127 pages), the TABOR book, and present information on “Yes on 200” so you can make your own decision. Do I have an opinion? Moi??? Yes. So does my neighbor. Time to be the informed ones in our group chat.
I will vote ✅YES on 200, ✅5 by District on 201, and 🚫NO on 1A
Do your neighbors agree with you on local issues? Get a Yes on 200 yard sign so they can see where you stand. Go here! Or contact me at emilysuyat@gmail.com
If you want to ask the Yes on 200 (fka 3 to 5) committee questions, find one of their town halls all over the county.
Blue Book should already be at your house via mail, TABOR book is on its way but both are online.
Kyle Clark says the county commissioners are “tanking” the citizen-led 3 to 5.
I’m voting ✅YES on 5A. This is an MLO (funding) for our public schools. Colorado schools are chronically underfunded, and Douglas County itself is trying to recover from years of damage from almost a decade of BOE’s who didn’t want to tax. It’s a whole thing. Don’t know what an MLO is and why we have them? Listen to my episode on school finance here.
This ballot is LONG, it’s ok to get help from orgs you already trust:
Bell Policy Center Ballot Guide: short, sweet, gives recommendations.
League of Women Voters - Where the League Stands. Also gives recommendations This whole website is so educational regarding elections.

Thanks for listening! Leave a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for me on Apple Podcasts to drown out the fella telling me to move to Denver. (No 💅 ) Douglas County is my home and if you live here, it’s yours too.
