Last week’s ProPublica report on how the ultra-wealthy avoid paying income taxes revealed Governor Jared Polis’ investment strategies mean he has paid minimal taxes compared to average working families. In response to the reporting, Polis stated his commitment to enacting tax reforms to make better, fairer tax rules for Colorado families. I applaud this response and urge him to take this excellent opportunity to assume a leadership role in improving Colorado’s tax system so that it’s both transparent and equitable.
