Taxes, taxes taxes: What's in store for Colorado's special session

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado lawmakers head back to the Capitol on Friday for a special session to address rising property taxes after Proposition HH failed.Now, Democrats are looking at a scaled-down, one-year version to lower property taxes by handing out uniform refunds under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. The tax surplus would then help fund local districts, like schools, libraries and fire departments instead. Denver Auditor decries city’s lack of safe, habitable spaces Bell Policy Center President Scott Wasserman joined “Colorado Point of View” ahead of the special session to walk through the proposals and the pushback.The leader of the left-leaning think tank said a big criticism of Prop HH was that renters felt left out. Now, Wasserman argues legislators need to focus on helping those who are really struggling. "So the question right now is: Who needs the most help, and what would make this biggest impact? So this is why we’re talking about the earned income tax credit," Wasse...

MBTA needs $24.5 billion to fix system, officials say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

MBTA officials have long been sounding the alarm about the poor state of the system’s infrastructure and lamenting years of disinvestment, and on Thursday they put an eye-watering new price tag on the myriad issues that have piled up: $24.5 billion.The T published a new analysis of the quality of its trains, tracks, signals, construction equipment and other assets, confirming the dire state of the system that is widely understood but has not been quantified in four years.Nearly two-thirds of all MBTA assets are not in a state of good repair, and it would cost $24.5 billion to fix all of those issues, the agency concluded in its latest assessment. That figure includes the costs only of addressing current problems, not regular maintenance for infrastructure in a state of good repair nor expansions, electrifications and other large-scale projects.The new estimate is nearly two and a half times more expensive than the last capital needs assessment produced in 2019 under the B...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

Transit Police Chief Kenneth Green said the new four-year contract approved by the MBTA Board of Directors on Thursday will boost competitiveness and increase retention at a department that was losing 10 to 12 officers per year.The retroactive agreement between the MBTA and Police Association includes a roughly 18% wage increase over four years, from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2027. The average annual raise is approximately 4.5%, the T said in a statement.Green, a 32-year Transit Police veteran, said the number of people applying to become police officers has declined sharply since he took his exam, from roughly 40-50,000 to 8-9,000.“That pool is being picked out by over 300 police agencies in the state, but with this new contract, what it does is it goes a long way in helping us stabilize our department, as well as to increase the headcount of the MBTA police department,” Green said. “It makes us very competitive with other departments to obtain new hires.”Related ArticlesPolitics | ...

Chris Christie returns to New Hampshire as poll numbers surge

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:50:11 GMT

CONCORD, N.H. — Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was back in the Granite State on Thursday for a string of campaign events which come just as his run toward the Republican nomination seems to be gathering some steam.Christie started the day on Main Street in Concord at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage, where he joined a veterans forum hosted and broadcast by the radio program Good Morning New Hampshire. The former federal prosecutor was then scheduled to head toward the seacoast for a business roundtable in Portsmouth, followed by a town hall in Hampton.With Christie just back from a trip to Israel, where he surveyed some of the towns struck by Hamas backed terrorists on October 7, the forum’s conversations touched briefly on the conflict in the Middle East, but focused primarily on the sacrifices made by U.S. service members and the government’s responsibility to veterans.On the subject of service, Christie posed a question he said should be answered “as a gen...
