As cities face budget shortfalls, more are exploring ways to tax the wealthy.
Building a budget that doesn’t rest on the shoulders of its poorest residents is not only a moral imperative, it’s smart, responsible, and sustainable tax policy.

This op-ed in the @coloradosun.com about child care worker pay is worth a read. "Paying the people who care for Colorado’s youngest children $7 below a living wage is not an economic inevitability. It is a policy choice." #copolitics coloradosun.com/2026/06/02/o…

Exactly this: "Some folks won’t be happy until we are left with no public schooling, scant social services, a prison system in shambles...The 'big government' complainers would rather live on a desolate island with nothing, except more and more highways." denverpost.com/2026/05/19/po…

As wealth inequality grows, local governments across the nation should step up to make the wealthy pay their fairer share in taxes.
Local officials have a range of progressive tax policies that can help fund better public services for their communities.
