Vote NO on Amendment 87 to Protect Your Business. Colorado’s economic success depends on our ability to attract businesses and help them grow. Amendment 87 would create an expensive graduated income tax, moving us in the wrong direction. The South Metro Denver Chamber opposes Amendment 87 and supports reducing unnecessary costs and barriers to business growth. Please vote NO to protect Colorado businesses, help them thrive, and prevent them from moving to states with lower taxes.
