No on 2B! You WILL pay this tax!
2B is another attempt to grab more of our hard-earned dollars by taxing our local economy and the events, festivals, parks, museums, landmarks, rafting, tours and guiding services that support Cañon City families and make our region a wonderful place to live and visit.
The City claims only tourists will pay. Don’t be tricked.
Everyone in Cañon City—including hardworking residents and family-owned small businesses—will pay.
Unless we vote NO on 2B!
2B is the City’s backdoor tax scheme to fund the new pool. But we’re already paying millions for the pool through a massive $42 million sales tax increase. And the Recreation District is racking up to $44 million in debt payments just to build the pool.
Now the City wants even more from our wallets.
The City believes the railroad will pay. But federal law specifically exempts railways from this tax. The City wants to fight it out in court—using your tax dollars to pay lawyers to sue a local business.
That will leave local families who want to enjoy our attractions paying this tax and family-owned small businesses forced to increase prices, cut jobs or leave town.
Enough is enough! Vote NO on 2B!

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN TRUST CITY GOVERNMENT WITH EVEN MORE TAX DOLLARS?
City Council rushed 2B to the ballot without working out the details. Watch the September 3rd Council meeting to hear how little Council knew about a question they had ALREADY approved for the ballot.
