Denver Post: Effort to undo TABOR tax law dealt blow by court

“For half a decade now, we’ve been fighting a federal court battle to defend our voters’ right to have a voice in state tax policy,” said Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman in a statement. “I hope this decisive win will convince TABOR’s opponents that the courts are not the place to pursue their political agenda.”

There’s little chance, however, that the ruling will be the final word in the matter, as the coalition looking to unravel TABOR vowed to continue a court challenge that began in 2011.

“We are still a ways off from addressing the merits of this case and we believe we ultimately will do that,” said Michael Feeley, one of the attorneys in the TABOR case.
