Fucking morons. "Don't tax me here, Tax me there"! Yes, for many people, tax on food is high but this is a tax in "anything not food". You have any fucking clue on how much that will add to your life just daily? Every single thing in your life that is not "food" is now going to be taxed higher. If you vote for this, you are a fucking idiot.

You want to pay 1% more on your internet, your gas, your basic services? Water, sewage? etc.. All it says is "non-food". Construction? Painting, etc.... It keeps going. This is not 1%. This is far more than that since you have to spend a lot of money on stuff that is "not food". (House, Car, services, etc).

From the post:

>A year after Loveland voters approved a measure that eliminated a 3% sales tax on groceries, they are being asked this year to approve ballot measure 2E, a 1% sales tax increase on non-food items. The additional funds from the proposed increase would help patch the city's multi-million dollar budget shortfall, which was created by ballot question 300, the 3% grocery tax elimination, passed by voters in 2023.

No one ever considers lowering budgets: make do with less. Citizens must always make do with less, governments aren't special. Stop spending money on illegals, jews and money laundering. Taxpayers can't afford that anymore.

So if the sales tax base stays the same in 2025, we would be looking at program reductions and not those same kinds of measures that we used to get through 2024.

Exactly! "Program reductions" that's what is required.

the city's budget shortfall is a "manufactured crisis."

100%. Stop spending so fucking much and end all spending on bullshit like DEI/ESG/LGBTQUIA+ There, I probably just saved the city a few million dollars.

Next, start eliminating the gov employees that only have the job because of Affirmative action or "Equity". Now, go after all of the redundant positions.

Just saved at least 10 million+ more at a minimum. Now you don't have a shortfall.

Next, No new programs/spending/etc unless you can fund it BEFORE the law/program is created. Now you never go into the red in the first place.
