No on 2K
Demand fiscal responsibility.
Boulder Ballot Issue 2K more than doubles Boulder’s municipal debt by authorizing $400M in borrowing ($650M total with interest). It repays this debt through steep property tax hikes on residents and local businesses without providing spending guardrails or transparent accounting—worsening Boulder’s affordability crisis when community members can least afford it.
The real cost
of 2K
We must demand fiscal responsibility. Ballot Issue 2K would bring:
Staggering City Debt: Authorizes $400 million in borrowing, costing taxpayers up to $650 million with interest.
Higher Burden on Families & Businesses: Forces community members to pay through steep property tax hikes or face cuts to essential public services.
Compounding our Affordability Crisis: Commits Boulder to hundreds of millions in long-term debt when residents can least afford it.
Lacks basic financial guardrails, transparency and public input: for how funds will be spent.
Ballot Issue 2K is not the solution for Boulder—it’s fiscally irresponsible, and our community will pay the price.
Who we are
We are a coalition of residents, community leaders, organizations, and business owners opposing Ballot Measure 2K. In these tough times, when residents and small businesses are struggling, we must prioritize fiscal responsibility and avoid adding to their burdens. We call for proper stakeholder input and safeguards before any measure that could further indebt Boulder. Together, let’s make Boulder a more affordable place for all who live and work here. Join us!
