Taylor Rhodes, executive director for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners of Colorado, celebrates the state Senate effectively nuking the assault weapons ban bill in committee, before it could go to Governor Jared Polis's desk for his signature. Rep. Lisa Frizell (R-45, Douglas) joins Dan to discuss the long-anticipated property tax relief bill, finally being hammered out after Democrats tried to raid TABOR refunds to offset property tax increases - all in the wake of the voters' repeal of the Gallagher Amendment in 2020.

Chris Richardson, Elbert County commissioner, has been appointed to be part of a Colorado property tax task force designed to find relief for state residents after the fall of the Gallagher Amendment and the failure of the General Assembly to find a permanent solution. He joins KBB, in for Dan, to forecast what may lie ahead for homeowners and renters. Also, Ryan finds himself in the unique position on this day of praising Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) and criticizing his favorite member of Congress - Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) - for their respective stances on the Israel-Hamas War.

Ryan fills in for Dan and has had enough of Fox News not only firing Tucker Carlson, but trying to assasinate his character and ruin his career as well. Former Fox News employees Megyn Kelly and Dan Bongino voice their opinions of the bizarre ongoing saga of the Rupert Murdoch media giant attempting to bury its former #1 primetime star. Also, Jon Caldara, President of the Independence Institute, joins Ryan for the second half hour to discuss Governor Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats attempting their latest end-around effort to thwart TABOR for the state's taxpayers, as property taxes soar in the wake of voters choosing to repeal the Gallagher Amendment in 2020.

With 2023 state legislative session almost over, the race is on to get these bills outta the house — but what will our lawmakers focus on with their final week? The fact that our property taxes are going through the roof? Or that the Suncor oil refinery continues to emit toxic chemicals? Or are they just focused on fighting their own trolls on social media? It's Tuesday, so host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are breaking down all the local stories that matter this week. Plus, of course, the latest on Casa Bonita.  Paul mentioned how Colorado stacks up to other states when it comes to property taxes on residential real estate and the reasons Colorado voters repealed the Gallagher Amendment back in 2020.  Bree mentioned a Zillow listing in West Colfax that touted the home's proximity to Casa Bonita.  Give us a ring on the Always-Open, Always Hot, Casa Bonita Hotline!

Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's FridayMay 14th, and we're here with local news, events, announcements, jobs, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.    Today - Montrose County's 2021 reappraisal saw valuation increases for most types of properties across the county. So what does this mean for property taxes?   Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at www.elevateinternet.com.   Now, our feature story…   Montrose County's 2021 reappraisal saw valuation increases for most properties.    The revaluations are based on a level of value from mid-2020, with the new values found using market sales data starting from 2019.    Assessor Brad Hughes told us that it encompassed nearly 23,000 properties in Montrose County.   The residential subclass of properties experienced some of the highest increases. Vacant land experienced an average valuation increase of around 20%, with residential improved properties increasing around 15% to 20%.   And the market for vacant land has been hot for quite some time now. Lots are being scooped up by both locals and out-of-staters.    Hughes told us that one of the numbers that stood out the most was the 30% to 35% valuation increase in the residential market for the West End of Montrose County.   This was interesting considering it was unclear how the market would respond after the closure of the Nucla coal-fired plant back in 2019.   But that area's economy has been helped by a grant from the Economic Development Administration. The grant led to the birth of the West End Economic Development Corporation which has helped open several new businesses.   Commercial properties experienced increases too. On average, commercial properties rose by 5% to 10%.   Additionally, there was about a 30% increase for irrigated farmland.   So what does all of this mean? Well, the reappraisal is the first domino in what could determine what people's taxes will be for next year. Last November, after Coloradans voted to repeal the 38-year-old Gallagher Amendment, which ties residential property tax rates to commercial rates, there was no certainty as to what the future of property taxation in Colorado would be.   But with the reappraisal showing an increase in valuation for residential properties, and the Gallagher Amendment no longer protecting homeowners from a rise in property taxes -- all eyes are now set on the mill levies.    If the mill levies go down, there won't be much of a change in taxes. But if the mill levy stays the same, an increase in home value could raise a homeowner's annual taxes.   Stay up to date on this story by visiting us at montrosepress.com   -   Now, some local history. This week's local history is brought to you by England Fence. England Fence is family owned and operated, and they're ready to help you build your dream fence, archway, gate, or deck. Give them a call at 970-249-4430, or head over to their website englandfence.com.   The Town of Olathe was established in 1882 and incorporated in 1907.  Although "Olathe '' is the Shawnee name for "beautiful", the Uncompahgre Valley Territory of Western Colorado was actually inhabited by the Ute's for hundreds of years.     Present day Olathe was at one time a Ute village, with plenty of hunting and fishing to keep them satisfied. It was in the late 1870's when Western expansion brought settlers because of the gold and silver boom. Those settlers began to build small homesteads in the area to raise their families.   -   And finally, before we go we'd like to remember the life of George Charles Kubin, a longtime resident of the Olathe and Montrose area.   George was born in Crosby, Texas. His earliest memories of farming were trying to keep up with his older siblings while picking cotton. When he was 7 years old, his family moved to Washington. He attended Catholic schools and remembered working as a kid in the orchards. The family later purchased a small farm in Ontario, Oregon. George graduated from Ontario High School in 1950. He joined the United States Air Force in January of 1951, and he served until he was honorably discharged in January of 1955. He rose to the rank of staff sergeant and was stationed in Germany.   Following his discharge from the Air Force, he joined his parents on the family farm in Olathe. They later purchased a farm on North Mesa in Montrose, where they raised sugar beets, malt barley for Coors, alfalfa hay and corn. George also fed cattle. He was awarded a Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Accomplishment in Soil Conservation from the Shavano Soil Conservation District in 1966. He served on the Holly Sugar Beet Board as well as many years on the Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Board. After Holly Sugar and Coors pulled out of the Valley, he started a commercial cow operation. He owned a Forest Service permit in Hanks Valley and ran cattle on the same permit as the Appelhanz Brothers. He also started a registered Hereford cattle herd in the 1970s and grazed them in the summers on Horsefly. Then, in the 1990s, he began raising registered Angus, as well. He won many awards for the quality of his registered cattle herds.   He married Mary Josephine Appelhanz in 1962 at Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Montrose. They had three children and enjoyed 46 years of marriage, until Mary Jo's death. George was a very devoted family man and faithful Catholic. He has been a long-time member of Saint Joseph Traditional Roman Catholic Church in Olathe. He was an extremely hard worker and skilled farmer and rancher. He loved spending time with his family, fishing, agriculture, keeping up with current events, watching sports – especially the Denver Broncos. He very much enjoyed participating in the local tractor pulls that were held at the fairgrounds in the 1970s and won trophies every year.    George was a patient, kind and quiet man that was always willing to listen and help. He was very mindful of the importance of good character and being a good example.   He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate George's life.   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

With the 2020 legislative session now behind us, we thought it prudent to take a look back and assess the impacts of what was passed. We're joined by Don Childears, CEO Colorado Bankers Association and Common Sense Institute Board Member and Bernie Buescher, Former Colorado Secretary of State & Legislator. Bringing their remarkable depth of knowledge, the two unpack this year's session with great depth, nuance, and thought. One of the outcomes of the session saw legislators refer a measure to the 2020 ballot that would repeal the Gallagher Amendment, a Constitutional Amendment that sets a formula for the mix residential property taxes and commercial property taxes at 45% of the total, and 55%, respectively. The repeal, if approved by voters, is designed to prevent schools, local governments, and the state from taking large financial hits due to the recession caused by our current global pandemic. Mr. Childears and Mr. Buescher discuss the creation of Gallagher, its unintended consequences, and the impetus for its repeal. Thank you for listening to the Common Sense Digest.

El Paso County Assessor, Steve Schleiker, on the Senior's Homestead Exemption having made the state budget and what's next; and a coming ballot initiative asking Colorado voters to repeal the tricky Gallagher Amendment. Listen Now!

Second in our ongoing series about the Gallagher Amendment's property tax impact on Colorado communities, Law Talk Colorado News Anchor Angeline Roles interviews Colorado State Senator Bob Rankin of Carbondale who argues that repeal of Gallagher is the most practical next step in solving the problem. A complicated issue that bumps into TABOR, the Taxpayer Bill Of Rights, Senator Rankin explains that rural communities are going to be hit the hardest because the State can't continue to cover the growing property tax shortfalls to the districts. Colorado residents enjoy one of the lowest residential property tax rates in the nation, while Colorado commercial property tax rates are some of the highest in the nation, which presents particular challenges to rural areas with a higher residential to commercial ratio. The formula for determining these ratios is locked into the Gallagher Amendment. "The good news is, we can repeal Gallagher and freeze residential property tax rates at the current low rate," Rankin says. He supports proposed legislation that will put repeal of the Gallagher Amendment to Colorado voters on the 2020 ballot. "We hope people will educate themselves on this," he says. "Contact your Fire District, School District, ask them how the property tax shortfalls are impacting them and their communities; they'll tell you. This is a complicated issue and we have got to do something to solve it."

Brown, formerly with Club 20 (a coalition of western Colorado counties that, as a group, give voice to rural communities when it comes to legislative issues), presents specific examples of how the Amendment has, is, and will hit rural Colorado specifically. The good news is, there are groups such as Building A Better Colorado actively pursuing solutions. "We have to muster the courage to deal with Gallagher [Amendment] proactively," Brown insists, adding that the need to solve it reaches beyond partisan agendas, citing numerous examples of bi-partisan agreement.
