Whats up with the CO real estate tax geometric increases? Get me more smarter. In Costilla County my home went from $312,000 to $733,800 after appealing to Assessor. I will be heading to County Commissioners Court Monday to fight it again. 9 news showed a representative case for another neighbor. Costilla County is not Aspen, Vail etc.
There are lots of articles about the major rise in property taxes.
One from Summit County: https://www.summitdaily.com/news/colorado-property-owners-to-face-astronomical-tax-increases-next-year/
CPR's story on SE Colorado, including Costilla County, is https://www.cpr.org/2023/05/02/southeastern-colorado-property-tax-values-change-interactive-map/
Thanks John.
Oh man, I hate to even think about what the numbers are like in Summit County and other resort areas. For the stereotypical wealthy second/third/etc. home owners, probably not horribly painful, but for the rest? Yowza.
Headline of the day: h/t Josh Marshall at TPM.
“GOPers Hit the Half-Drowned Ron with Their Paddles as He Struggles to Climb Back in the Campaign Boat”
The FDA or CDC? Yikes!
Going to be tough to challenge Bidenonomics for the next few months of the campaign. Today's news:
AP: US economy unexpectedly accelerated to a 2.4% growth rate in April-June quarter despite Fed hikes
Look at that business investment number! It's as if Biden put us back on the path to CAPITALism instead of GOP robber-barron-style profiteering.
Can we all agree that if McConnell was a Democrat the Republicans would be losing their minds today?
To be fair, it is posted on FoxNews.com and the comments are unanimous that people this old and frail should not be running our country. They are not being any more or less critical of the similar Feinstein lapse today.
That was my point, and I agree. I do remember some pretty vile stuff lodged against DF. I admire BoBo’s restraint today. Oh, wait…
But of course, DJT and the folks on the Q Continuum hate the Old Crow a/k/a Moscow Mitch and his Chinese-American wife so Fox would enjoy pissing on McConnell.
Yeah, good point.
I have been following Sen Feintein for a while, going back to the 70's. The last several years have been difficult. Her life and care is like so many geratric people and their families, but in at different level, a very different level. I do think she is setting up her final days and distribution of wealth (there is a lot of that) because she will not finish her term. Hopefully she tells a lot of people to go to Hades.
My impression is that she is being run by her staff vs. the other way around, but what do I know?
Also, I'm not a fan of public servants ending up as billionaires (or of billionaires generally speaking). So the sooner she leaves the better in my book. I'm not that optimistic though that the Democratic party won't engineer an equally neoliberal replacement.
FDFQ gets another kick in the nuts from Jack Smith and the grand jury.
Uff da.
Duke, the funniest thing about that is that Trumpy's legal team met with Smith yesterday, then Dumb Donny pronounced that it "was a very productive meeting". Then ON THE SAME DAY Smith filed the additional charges.
An intentional kick in the nuts, and a swift one at that!
Was Moddy subbing for Ttumpy’s social media dude yesterday????
No wonder Moddy doesn't come around here much anymore. Gotta flood the zone with shit every day!
Love your turn of phrase, Duke!
🙂
thank you.
