Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council February 27, 2006 Page 4 moratorium last November on the statutory formula that was created by the TABOR, or the Taxpayers' Bill of Rights. By a11 accounts, the TEL is more onerous than the TABOR in Ohio. My colleagues and I and many of the Mayors and Managers are going to be spending between now and November really trying to educate people as to what the implications are of this constitutional amendment. It is going to be sold as put government on a diet. It's really much more complicated than that. Mr. Buckholtz asked what the second amendment proposed to be on November's ballot was.
