Last week, voters across Colorado cast their ballots and weighed in on 108 municipal ballot questions. Here is some analysis on what types of questions were included and how they did on November 3rd.  

Notably, less than half of all TABOR ballot questions were approved by voters. There were 5 municipalities with a total of 7 questions that combined sales tax increases with debt authorization or mill levy increases, instead of asking each question separately. All of these failed.
