Boulder County commissioners supported a proposed graduated state income tax and opposed an income-tax rate cap in positions announced June 23. The county said the board had agreed on its positions at a June 16 business meeting.
The supported initiative was then identified as petition proposal 195. The opposition list included proposal 232, an income-tax rate cap, and proposal 177, a right-to-natural-gas measure. It also included proposals involving fentanyl penalties, human-trafficking penalties, federal law-enforcement reporting and mail-ballot voter identification.
Those were commissioners’ policy positions, not election results or proof that each proposal qualified for the final ballot. The county noted that the petition-signature deadline was still ahead in August and that it could consider additional positions after September certification.
