Summary
Colorado voters face a tough choice with Proposition 137: redirect sales tax from outdoor gear to fund wildfire prevention and conservation, potentially boosting environmental efforts by nearly five times current spending—but at the cost of up to $166 less in annual TABOR refunds per household. Supporters argue it’s urgent protection for the state’s natural beauty and safety, while critics warn of reduced tax returns amid other ballot measures. This is a high-stakes trade-off between immediate wallets and long-term landscapes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
