As the clock ticks the legislative session to a close without a reasonable solution to the looming property tax spike caused by an inflated economy, Republican Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen demanded lawmakers return for a special session to fix the problem.

Gov. Polis and the Democrats waited until the last week of session to offer their solution, which is a double-dipping tax increase disguised as a cap that obliterates your TABOR refund and raises property taxes.
It’s such a ludicrous plan, Kyle Cark called out the governor and asked if he thought voters are really this stupid to buy into it.
Don’t make me agree with you CLARK!
You know how that ruins my weekend. #copolitics #cogov #coleg https://t.co/PSlWVwgVz0

Democrats are so cock-sure they can keep Republicans from getting elected to the state House and Senate, they are shamelessly bitch-slapping Colorado taxpayers with two tax hikes, calling it a cut, and daring anyone to challenge them.
Well, Lundeen has challenged them to dueling tax cuts at dawn.
