As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds in Colorado, it serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prioritize mental well-being.

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.
