NPR's John Burnett reports on a Colorado ballot initiative which has attracted the concerned attention of non-profits around the country. Dubbed "Murphy's Law" for the man who has made its approval his personal mission, the measure would end property tax exemptions for churches, religious organizations and other non-profits in the state. The prospect has mobilized powerful opposition and started fierce debates about the cost of privilege and the value of service organizations.
