Coloradans will weigh in on a ballot measure to redirect excess funding from the state’s sporting goods and outdoor gear tax to support conservation projects. The measure, which will appear on the ballot as Proposition 137, is being supported by a coalition of conservation groups. … If passed, it would allow the state to keep the tax revenue generated by the state’s sales tax on sporting goods and outdoor equipment, exempting it from being refunded to taxpayers under TABOR. This excess revenue — which is estimated to generate around $175 million annually — would go toward projects like wildfire mitigation, new state parks, river and clean water protection, improved outdoor recreation infrastructure, wildlife and habitat management, land conservation and restoration, grants and more.
