The Citizen Initiative from Advance Colorado would make the state's current 4.4% income tax rate the legal maximum for individuals and corporations starting January 1st, 2027.

Kim Monson and Rob Natelson of the Independence Institute backed it on the Kim Monson Show.

Proposition 136, a citizen initiative on Colorado's November 3rd ballot, would cap the state's individual and corporate income tax rates at 4.4% of federal taxable income beginning January 1st, 2027.

The measure would write the rate Colorado charges now into state statute as the maximum and needs a majority vote to pass, according to the 2026 Blue Book, the state's ballot information booklet.

Kim Monson said on The Kim Monson Show on October 20 that her 2026 Colorado Voter's Guide recommends a yes vote on Proposition 136 and a no vote on Amendment 87.

We are a strong no on Amendment 87 and a strong yes on Prop 136, she said.

I agree completely, said Rob Natelson, who heads the Independence Institute's Constitutional Studies Center.

Since Montana and other states had bad experiences with progressive income taxes, he said most states, not all, but most states have been moving down toward either no income tax at all or income taxes in the rate level of 2%, 3%, 4%.

So Senator Ted Cruz, he's, uh, he's a mess.

And, and I'm gonna get ahold of, uh, Rob Natelson, and I'm gonna ask him about, um, citizenship, you know, uh, about him being born in Canada.

And yes, he did try to run ag- uh, for president once before, but, uh, it's just not gonna happen.

No, I don't...
