Colorado Amendment 87 Still Awaiting Final Count – What Aurora Residents Need to Know
Aurora voters are still on edge as the state works toward a final tally on Amendment 87, the ballot measure that could reshape Colorado’s income‑tax system. The amendment proposes a shift from the current flat tax rate to a more progressive structure, potentially lowering rates for low‑ and middle‑income earners while raising them for the highest brackets.
For Aurora’s 25‑ to 55‑year‑old community—home to a mix of young families, professionals, and small‑business owners—this change could mean a noticeable difference in take‑home pay. If the amendment passes, many households earning under $100,000 may see a modest tax cut, while higher‑earning families could face a larger bill. Local businesses, especially those employing a diverse wage range, are watching closely because payroll costs could adjust accordingly.
The Colorado Secretary of State’s office says the final count for Amendment 87 may not be released until the next few weeks, pending the certification of mail‑in and provisional ballots. In the meantime, Aurora residents can stay informed by checking the official state website, following local news outlets, and reviewing the amendment’s full text, which outlines the new tax brackets and revenue‑use provisions.
Stay tuned—your tax future may hinge on this pending result, and Aurora’s voice will be part of the broader Colorado conversation about fair, sustainable revenue.
