• Greeley 2F asks residents and businesses across the city to pay a higher sales and use tax for up to 40 years to help fund the Catalyst project among other things. But this isn’t just about the City choosing which development it wants taxpayers to fund. It has also chosen private partners that stand to benefit from that taxpayer-backed investment. That’s what it looks like when government picks winners and losers. Everyone is asked to help shoulder the cost and risk, while the City decides whi

• Greeley voters are being asked to approve Ballot Measure 2F, a new 0.6% sales and use tax that could stay in place through 2067. The City estimates it would collect about $20 million in the first year alone. But that is just year one. As prices and spending rise, sales tax collections rise too. Over four decades, we could easily be talking about more than $1 billion in new taxes. This tax also reaches a lot further than the everyday things you buy at the store. Greeley applies its sales tax t

• Most people think of sales tax as something they pay at the store, but Greeley also charges sales tax on gas and electricity for residential and commercial use, along with phone, television, and other communication services. So Greeley 2F’s proposed 0.6% sales tax increase would also add another 0.6% to your heat, electricity, phone, and cable or satellite TV bills for up to 40 years! And if you maintain both a business AND a home in Greeley, you’ll get hit with the double whammy because the t

• When a city says it wants to attract new businesses, raising the cost of doing business there seems like a strange way to go about it. Greeley 2F doesn’t just raise the sales tax. It also raises the "use" tax by 0.6%. For businesses, use tax can apply to investments in equipment, machinery, furniture, building materials, trucks, trailers and other things needed to open, operate or expand. It can even apply to those assets when someone buys an existing Greeley business. Those investments can e

• They keep saying it’s “just 60¢ on $100.” As if it only happens on a single splurge purchase. As if we won’t be paying it over and over again for 40 years. As if this is all to pay for something Greeley desperately needs. Want better parks and trails or upgrades to pools? You also have to vote for the City-owned Catalyst entertainment district, including a professional sports arena, hotel and resort, conference center and water park. And a new City Hall, public plaza and parking garage. Tha

• In February, Greeley voters were called to a special election over the West Greeley "Catalyst" $1.1 billion dollar development. And the voters overwhelmingly rejected it. Now it's back in a different form. This time, it is part of Greeley Ballot Measure 2F, a 0.6% sales and use tax that could remain in place for up to 40 years and fund Catalyst alongside a new Downtown Civic Campus that includes a new City Hall and City pavilion, and possible updates to parks, pools, playgrounds and trails.
