I was hoping someone could clarify issue 1A in Larimer County for me....

Now I had heard that this tax (for Foothills Gateway/Developmentally
disabled people services) was to be a ONE TIME tax to refill their coffers
but upon reading the wording of the 2001 ballot issues it appears to me that
this tax would be continuous - with no end or review by voters even
mentioned.  So, I am having some problems with this tax as I do with any tax
that appears to have no end or date for review by the voters.

It's a shame that this issue (a worthy one in my view) has been set up the
way it has as now I feel I must vote against it.  I would have voted for it
in a reasonable one time increase or something that would have lasted a few
years.  Am I reading this wrong or am I just remembering the issue that they
attempted to pass last year?
