The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that petition circulators who gathered thousands of signatures on anti-tax initiatives last summer, including Proposition 101, lived in a house owned by TABOR author and tax-cutting activist Douglas Bruce.

Opponents of the three initiatives allege Bruce is trying to keep a low profile because he’s a polarizing figure who might damage efforts to get the proposals passed.

The three measures — Amendment 60, Amendment 61 and Proposition 101 — would roll back property taxes, lower the state income tax rate, prohibit state government from borrowing money and abolish most fees and taxes related to motor vehicles and telecommunication devices and customer accounts.

Prop 101 would effectively repeal last year’s FASTER bill that raised auto registration fees to help fix crumbling roads and bridges, and further reduce already existing license fees that pay for highway maintenance to a flat $10 a year. License fees are the second-largest local source of city, county and state road funds, after the gas tax.
