how do you feel about the state doing an end-around on tabor and keeping all the pot taxes? [View all]

found this buried in a cbs story regarding the bill, which focused on the use of pesticides on marijuana.

The bill also sends voters a ballot measure asking for permission for the state to keep some $58 million in new pot taxes despite constitutional spending restrictions that would otherwise require them to be refunded.

we all knew this was coming and, while i'm ultimately fine with the state keeping the money, i'm a bit indignant that pot would be singled out for this. of course, tabor is a fat sack of shit.
