Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

If it passes, this would be the second time in three years that Coloradans voted to reduce income tax. In 2020, a proposition to reduce it to 4.55% from 4.63% passed 57.86% to 42.14%.

The proposition is endorsed by state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg and supported by organizations such as the Independence Institute and Coloradans for Civil Liberties. It is opposed by the economic think tank Bell Policy Center.
