This year’s ballot has us voting on 14 different state measures from bobcat hunting to ranked-choice voting to taxes on ammo. How will these measures impact my TABOR rebate?
It's all complicated. But it doesn’t have to be!
Learn from economist, author and DU alum Chris Stiffler (MA ‘13) as he answers these questions using easy to understand terms. Then be the person your friends ask for advice on things as complicated as ranked choice voting and TABOR.
Christopher Stiffler is an economics instructor and senior economist at the Colorado Fiscal Institute in Denver, Colorado. But he’s also worked as a high school Latin teacher, trained as a professional wrestler and climbed all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. He is a burro racer, public speaker, thru-hiker of the Colorado Trail and dabbles in things like ice climbing, stand-up comedy and cowboy poetry. He does his best writing after weekend trips backpacking into Colorado’s wilderness away from cell service.
His published works include two children’s books titled, “An Igloo Half-Made"; "A Burro Named Bedford" and an economics book "Economics In-Other-Words: What Your Boring Economics Professor Tried to Teach You."
He obtained his undergraduate degree in Latin from the University of Richmond in 2009. He received his MA in Economics from the University of Denver in 2013.
