DMCAR Commercial Real Estate
Ballot Guide
We fund and campaign hard on issues that matter to the CRE industry.
Â
Our leadership is committed to digging into the ballot items, even if you don't want to. Your ballots arrive in just two weeks. Be ready.
Â
YESÂ on Amendments Y & Z
Y & Z make it so that the voters choose the politicians, instead of the politicians choosing the voters. These will make gerrymandering illegal and allow all voters to be heard, a process that will also bring forth Colorado's best leaders. CRE says YES to Y & Z.
YESÂ on Proposition 110
A modest sales tax increase leverages billions in funding for CDOT and local transportation. Well-maintained roadways are critical to economic growth, fighting congestion and accessing the Colorado lifestyle. CRE says YES to 110.
Â
NOÂ on Proposition 112
A ban on oil and gas in disguise, with an estimate loss to the state GDP of $26B annually and more than 147,000 jobs lost. 20% of the office space in our urban core is occupied by the energy sector. CRE says NO to 112.
Â
NOÂ on Amendment 73
A 78% tax increase on small business (read CRE brokers) and a new graduated income tax for Coloradans, all without spending and student outcome accountability. We support well-funded education but this is detrimental to small business. CRE is a No on 73.
