Arapahoe County is Facing a Significant Budget Shortfall Starting in 2025
After years of insufficient tax revenues combined with a continued increase in demand for services, Arapahoe County faces a choice.
Vote Yes on 1A, the ballot measure to de-bruce Arapahoe County. "De-brucing" means allowing Arapahoe County to retain and use the revenue it's already allowed to collect, rather than be forced to cut residents' health and safety services or maintenance of roads and other infrastructure.
Over 50 of Colorado's 65 counties have already de-bruced.
1A passed in the November 5, 2024 general election.
