Colorado bill to overhaul state equalization board fails
Denver AP report: proposal to replace top officials on the State Board of Equalization with five governor appointed members fails in the Colorado House 36 to 27. The measure, backed by 43 sponsors, would have removed secretary of state, treasurer, attorney general and state auditor from the board and replaced them with five appointees from the five congressional districts with five year terms and Senate confirmation. House critics argued voters would lose accountability and noted past equalization actions raising property tax concerns.
