Ballot issue 2C in Colorado Springs has drawn a lot of attention, and Mayor Suthers gave his support for the measure significant airtime during his State of the City address. If the vote passes, the TOPS tax will be increased, and it is intended to go to the maintenance and acquisition of trails and open spaces. You can read more about 2C here: Ballot 2C Information
The other ballot issue voters in Colorado Springs will decide on is ballot issue 2D. Issue2D, if approved, will go to a fire mitigation fund of $20 million. The fund would be overseen by the fire department and a civilian oversight board. Any taxes the fund would take in over $20 million would be refunded to citizens on their utility bills.
Across the state voters will also decide who will be on their local school boards. Some city council seats will also be up for grabs.
