DENVER — GOP candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl faced particular scrutiny over her broad tax plan Friday at a forum hosted by a business-focused group.
Ganahl has made zero income tax and a halved gas fee a central part of her pitch to voters to re-right a Colorado she casts as overrun by crime, drugs and economic malaise.
In turn, Gov. Jared Polis, the Democratic incumbent, has said his opponent’s plan would gut dedicated funding for state patrol and other state programs. Ganahl said she planned to publish her plan Friday afternoon, but her campaign manager said after the forum it might still be a couple of days.
