Brief of Amicus Curiae the Bell Policy Center and the Colorado Fiscal Institute in Support of Appellees and Affirmance
The Bell Policy Center (“Bell”) and the Colorado Fiscal Institute (“CFI”), two of Colorado’s foremost, non-profit think tanks, focus on conducting high-quality and well-researched analysis of issues that impact Colorado.
Bell advocates for progressive public policies that ensure Colorado is a state of opportunity for all. Bell has conducted extensive research and analysis on TABOR’s impact, including Bell’s landmark 2003 report, Ten Years of TABOR.
Bell also supported Referendum C as a good step toward more responsible fiscal policy.
CFI provides independent analysis of the fiscal and economic issues facing Colorado. CFI staff, recognized as experts in Colorado fiscal policy, have analyzed the effects of TABOR on Colorado’s ability to finance public programs for over a decade and have been invited by countless states considering the adoption of a TABOR to address the impacts of TABOR here in Colorado.
