More State Money? Danger Ahead!

I've resisted dragging this topic in out of the mud for a long time, but since the issue (and need) of going back to the states for more money seems to be coming up more frequently, here goes...
Our beloved C&TS could be one of the first sacks of "small potatoes" tossed overboard if a proposed constitutional amendment makes it past Colorado voters in November.
As authored by anarchist-masquerading-as-tax-crusader Doug Bruce, Amendment 21 is posing as a simple $25 tax cut. No one mentions the cut goes UP to $50 the next year, $75 the year after that, and so on with no end, on every tax bill. Just eating away, year after year, until tax revenues (and thereby any state handouts to the railroad) are gone.
Bruce says the state must make up for lost local revenue; nowhere does the amendment state that. Either way, don't expect C&TS to come out on the winning end of what will be a mad scramble for money, from the state level down to every local city, fire department, and water district. Our local fire district predicts the amendment would put them out of business in 6 years or less (You get what you pay for -- nothing in this case)
Sorry to politicize the atmosphere in here, but if #21 gets passed, don't count on State of Colorado $$$ or support or interest of any kind, in a far-away little antique choo-choo. We all know and love the C&TS, but it won't mean a thing to a state legislator or a Front Range suburbanite hollering because their library is closing or because their fire department is charging them directly on a per-call basis.
