Colorado Confidential will provide plenty of coverage of the ballot issues facing Colorado voters this year. But, we know that you like to go directly to the source.
The text of the Blue Book, which is the official state voters guide to ballot issues, and the subject of considerably controversy, is now available on line, less a couple of page number references. Each issue has 2-4 pages of plain language text describing the measure, and arguments for and against it. Barring further court action, this is what voters will see in their mailboxes in the near future. The short titles of the statewide ballot issues, used in the links to the Blue Book entries this year are:
