1) While Colorado governors have the authority to convene a special session, the state legislature is under no obligation to actually do anything. I bet it would be perfectly legal for the state house and senate to convene the special session -- and immediately adjourn without doing anything whatsoever.
2) TABOR is the perfect excuse if Republicans want to spite a Democratic governor. It makes Republicans look noble and responsible to their TABOR-loving base, and it allows them to deflect their opponents' anger onto Douglas Bruce, a man who goes out of his way to earn people's scorn.
3) Notwithstanding 2), if the original state senate bill 17-267 did not require a vote of the people for its marijuana revenue proposals, then a bill correcting a mistake in the original bill doesn't either. This is nothing more than the "no taxes, ever" crowd venting their displeasure with RTD. If people can't afford their own car or to rent a limo, they can walk.
