DENVER, Colorado -- The issue of illegal immigration has emerged as the October surprise in Colorado's hard-fought campaign over ballot measures that would suspend the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights.
With the Nov. 1 election locked in a dead heat, opponents of the initiatives, called Referendums C and D, launched a full-court press last week aimed at connecting the proposed state funding increase to the high cost of illegal immigration.
"What the other side is saying is, 'Let's give a blank check to the politicians and then turn a blind eye to one of the biggest drivers in the budget,'?" said Jon Caldara, who is running the "Vote No, It's Your Dough" campaign against Referendums C and D.
