Herb Fenster

Herb Fenster, attorney with McKenna Long & Aldridge’s Denver office, will file a lawsuit this month in federal court challenging the constitutionality of Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, The Denver Post reports. Fenster argues the U.S. Constitution guarantees representative democracy in the states, while TABOR is essentially a form of popular democracy. “If you want to vote on tax legislation, then send people to the legislature who are going to vote the way you want them to vote,” he told the Post. One of Fenster’s primary aims is to increase the state’s ability to fund education.
