Not satified with a 13-year horizon, the Longmont City Council is considering asking voters in November to approve an extension - of as yet undetermined length - to the city's open space sales tax beyond 2020.
If they're thinking of this kind of unecessary question this early, there must not be too many other pressing issues that will vie for voters' taxes. Conventional wisdom is that too many tax requests on one ballot tends to sink them all. If they bring back the hotel lodging tax, for example, then this open space tax just makes that more worthy tax less likely to pass. Without the urgency of other requests, this open space tax is ahead of its time. Way ahead.
