COLORADO SPRINGS — Douglas Bruce could face more jail time if his probation is revoked Aug. 31 based on Denver Adult Probation Department complaints that he hasn’t reported financial dealings as required.

But the department may not know the half of it.

Since Bruce was put on six years’ probation in 2012, the author of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, has bought at least 24 out-of-state properties on which he has racked up about $63,000 in delinquent property taxes, liens and fines, The Gazette has found. He also owes an additional $17,700 in taxes, liens and fines on property he bought before he was jailed.

Many of these infractions appear to violate terms of his probation, but the probation department doesn’t cite them.

“All violations that our probation department is aware of are listed in the complaint,” said Jon Sarche, deputy public information officer for the Colorado Judicial Department.

Bruce is on probation for his 2012 felony convictions for tax evasion, filing a false tax return and trying to influence a public servant. He spent 104 days in jail and was given “strict” economic probation requiring full transparency in his financial dealings. Among the 20 additional terms and conditions related to his economic crime probation, Bruce is required to disclose new financial obligations and real estate purchases anywhere in the country and is not allowed to enter into any “new management or financial relationship with any person, group trust or other legal entity,” court documents show.

The probation department’s two complaints in Denver District Court say Bruce failed to submit financial disclosures and tax filings; didn’t disclose a financial deal with Colorado Springs Councilwoman Helen Collins; and didn’t report code violations and court cases related to six properties he owns in Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois nor nearly $22,000 in delinquent taxes on three Ohio properties.

But the accusations account for only a sliver of his dealings since he went on probation.

Asked for an interview to discuss those acquisitions, Bruce said, “Go bother somebody else,” and hung up the phone.

In previous interviews, Bruce has defended his properties.
