The state's public health department is ordering the GEO Group to provide information about tuberculosis at an Aurora immigration detention facility, but the private corrections company has yet to comply. Westword editor emeritus Patty Calhoun joins politics contributor Adrian Felix in his last episode filling in as guest host to break down what's going on at the detention center, discuss the state of downtown in light of the departure of Denver's Chief Projects Officer Bill Mosher, and chat about the questionable international decisions made by two companies that had their start here: Crocs and Chipotle.

In this episode, we break down the strategic decision to sell a portfolio of boutique hotels in Lake Tahoe, detailing the operational scaling challenges, rising interest rates, and the reality of 24/7 hospitality management. Understanding when to liquidate stabilized assets and redeploy trapped equity is a critical skill for any real estate investor looking to optimize returns and reduce active management stress.Beyond hospitality, we explore the current macroeconomic landscape, highlighting the unprecedented shift toward a buyer's market in housing and the potential impact of indexing capital gains tax to inflation. We also introduce the concept of "eustress" versus distress, providing actionable frameworks for high-performing entrepreneurs to leverage pressure for personal and professional growth.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDThe impact of rising interest rates on commercial real estate valuationsScaling challenges and operational realities of boutique hotel investmentsCalculating and understanding cap rates for passive investmentsUtilizing AI agents for investor relations and fund managementThe recent shift to a buyer's market in the US housing sectorProposed capital gains tax cuts and indexing gains to inflationThe psychological difference between distress and eustress for entrepreneursKEY TAKEAWAYSTrapped equity in stabilized real estate assets often yields a lower return, making it essential to unlock and redeploy capital into higher-yielding opportunities.Boutique hotels are 24/7 operating businesses, not just passive real estate, requiring significant scale to support a self-sustaining management team.The housing market currently holds a 51% seller surplus, creating a rare window of leverage for buyers to negotiate concessions before interest rates drop.Indexing capital gains to inflation could unlock stagnant housing supply by eliminating the lock-in effect and phantom profit taxation for long-term property owners.Engineering positive eustress into your routine forces growth and elevation, whereas unmanaged distress degrades focus and health.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONImagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.Visit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury condo ownership at Skyline OC, Orange County's tallest residential tower.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has suggested a higher fuel tax, a bed tax and a bank levy could be discussed as part of a second term, but the ACT Party's not so keen. Leader David Seymour says voters don't want new taxes, and there's a possibility that they could grow as discussions continue. He says income tax started out as a small percentage impacting a handful of earners, and now we all pay up to eight times that starting rate. "That's just a perfect example of why you say you're going to put a tax just on banks...but we all know that the customers will pay that."

In two months from now, the Minister for Finance will announce the broad outline of a brand-new tax efficient scheme. This will be for people to invest their excess cash rather than leave it in accounts which earn next to nothing in interest. So how should it and might it work? Joe asked Michael Healy the Chief executive of IG UK and Ireland.
For high earners in their 30s, 40s, and early 50s, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act creates a new tax and financial planning environment. The higher SALT deduction cap, new charitable giving rules, expanded 529 flexibility, and new Trump Accounts for children all deserve attention, but not every provision calls for immediate action. The opportunity is to coordinate tax, savings, education, charitable, and family wealth strategies over multiple years rather than treating each rule as a one-time tax break.

In this episode of Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group in Tucson, Dean opens the show with three straight down weeks behind us and a market that has decided every headline is bad news. Google reported negative free cash flow for the first time in company history, investors headed for the exits, and the hyperscalers took it on the chin for spending money on the one thing everybody agrees is the future. We get into why capital expenditure became the fear trade, what $794 billion in projected 2026 spending across Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and SpaceX is actually telling us, and why not one CEO in the industry is calling a top. Dean spends his monologue on volatility and self-knowledge, which is really the same conversation. Memory chips, Intel's foundry buildout in Phoenix, the hyperscalers that keep getting punished for building, and the question every investor has to answer honestly before choosing a portfolio. Where is your stomach on this. He also walks through how ETFs can give you exposure to a volatile group with a smoother ride, and why diversification and risk tolerance still do more work than any single call. From there Dave, Todd, Dylan and Sebastian dig into a week where good news kept getting read backwards. Oracle hit a 52 week low right after signing a ten year, $8 billion Department of Defense contract. Intel posted its biggest revenue jump in 15 years and closed lower anyway. Meanwhile the quiet story of the year keeps going, with the equal weighted S&P 500 running ahead of the headline indexes while everyone watches the chips. We also look at what railroads and shippers like CSX are saying about the real economy, and why a 55 year low in unemployment claims is doing more to hold up interest rates than anything else. The back half is all planning. Hailey Glick joins us to walk through the deductions showing up on 2025 returns under the One Big Beautiful Bill, including no tax on tips up to $25,000, the overtime rules almost everyone gets wrong, the enhanced senior deduction for filers over 65, and the new car loan interest deduction that landed on its own Schedule 1A. Most of these phase out by income and most of them expire after 2028, which is exactly why we spend the rest of the segment on Roth conversions. We share a real client story about an 85 year old living in Belgium where the conversion math came down to two countries' current tax rates rather than a guess about future policy, because guessing is not a strategy. We also open up Trump accounts and what compounding actually looks like for a newborn, including the $1,000 government seed for children born 2025 through 2028, why any child under 18 can have one, and the Roth conversion opportunity waiting at age 18.

The Greens' tax policy is only a day old and there is already a big maths problem with it. They counted $100 million a year as income when it was really an expense. It was money they had set aside to run the new tax system. So, instead of $100 million over four years coming in, it is now going out, creating an $800 million hole in their budget. They didn't see it. Brad Olsen, who checked their numbers, didn't see it either. The media were the ones who spotted it and the Greens only realised the mistake after receiving a few phone calls. Now, it's a problem - but I don't want to blow it out of proportion. It's not the end of the world for the Greens. It's a mistake they can explain, even though it's hard to understand how something this significant was missed. However, no one really takes the Greens seriously when it comes to money so this kind of error won't help them. What it will do is open up every calculation in that package to further scrutiny. They'll have to defend it with more than just, “Brad checked it, it's fine,” because clearly, it wasn't fine. On the politics of this - which is a separate issue from the mathematics - I reckon they've made another mistake by being too greedy. They've proposed a 45 percent tax rate for anyone earning more than $160,000. But $160,000 a year isn't rich - it's middle-income. Raising a family on that amount isn't easy. I think this risks losing the Greens support among people in well-off suburbs who want to save the planet and reduce child poverty - but not if it means paying 45 percent instead of the current 33 percent on income over $160,000. That's a huge jump. I'm surprised the Greens have made a mistake like this because they've already been told not to be so ambitious. It's why they lifted their wealth tax threshold to net assets over $10 million. Cast your mind back to the last election- it was $2 million. They moved it from $2 million to $10 million because they said people told them it was too low. My guess is they're about to learn the same lesson again with their proposed 45 percent income tax rate starting at $160,000. It's too low.

Churches and charities are warning that the federal government's plan to increase taxes on discretionary trusts could cost the welfare and community sector billions of dollars in donations. They fear up to 30 per cent of their income could disappear.If you attend a Donald Trump rally in the United States, you'll almost certainly hear his favourite song – the high-camp late 70's hit by the Village People, “YMCA”. And you'll increasingly hear another song that, strictly speaking, has nothing to do with politics. It's the evangelical anthem, “How Great is Our God”. Now, some evangelical leaders fear the MAGA movement has hijacked their music, even their worship style. On the northern fringe of Sydney, among gum trees and very loud native bird song, the Catholic Church plans to build Australia's newest cathedral. The proposal by the Diocese of Broken Bay has attracted criticism for its expense. But the church hopes the stunning new design, which captures the essence of the nearby bushland, will convince the critics.GUESTS:Mark Fowler is a charity lawyer and advisory committee member for the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission, a commonwealth agency.

In this episode of the That's Just Good Podcast, host Nick Marino Jr. breaks down what the latest tax legislation means for corporate giving, business philanthropy, and charitable strategy. Let's be honest. Taxes are not the most exciting topic. But for companies that care about making an impact, understanding these changes could significantly influence how they give, when they give, and the long-term strategy behind their philanthropy. As businesses navigate a new tax landscape, leaders have an opportunity to move beyond reactive charitable donations and build more intentional giving strategies that benefit both their communities and their organizations. In this episode, Nick discusses: • How the new tax law impacts corporate philanthropy and charitable giving • What business leaders should know about charitable deductions • Why strategic giving matters more than ever in 2026 • The role of Donor-Advised Funds for Business • How businesses can align tax planning with community impact • Building a long-term corporate giving strategy • Why philanthropy should be treated as part of business strategy, not an annual transaction Whether you're a CEO, business owner, CSR professional, executive leader, or someone responsible for your company's community impact efforts, this episode provides practical insights into navigating the evolving world of corporate philanthropy. Because the most effective businesses aren't just asking how much they should give. They're asking how they can give smarter.

(The Center Square) – New tax proposals being considered in Springfield could bring nearly $7 billion in revenue to the state, according to advocates. Critics say the proposals – which would change corporate tax rules, among other impactful tax changes – could drive capital and jobs out of the state. The Illinois Revenue Alliance and Democrat lawmakers on Wednesday discussed initiatives they want passed to increase revenue, which they say would address gaps in the state budget created in-part by federal funding cuts. Backers said new revenue could be raised without increasing taxes for everyday Illinoisans. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As the wine flows, we consider a "fairy tale" from the 21st century regarding a new tax on wealthy second homes in New York City. While the proposal to tax penthouses sounds witty to the masses, Germanicus warns it is mere "Kabuki smoke and mirrors" that will drive the wealthy to flee, drawing parallels to programs that destroyed communities and hampered natural mobility. He argues that only those who have lived under the "monstrous regimes" of the East — like those in Germany or Hungary — truly understand the devastation these ideas bring to the human spirit. Our evening concludes with a plan to visit the circus, preferring jugglers and marionettes to the exhausting drama of the modern age, as we depart the wine bar to offer our sacrifices to the divine Augustus.

In this timely and highly practical episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Jon Bergdoll, MA, interim director of data and research partnerships at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, for a clear-eyed conversation about what the 2025 federal tax policy changes could mean for charitable giving. The episode opens with an important reminder that taxes are not the only force shaping generosity, but they do matter, and they matter enough to influence billions of dollars in giving behavior. Drawing on new research from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Jon explains that the overall effect of the policy is expected to be a modest drag on giving, roughly $5.5 to $6 billion annually, even as one major provision, the return of the universal charitable deduction, could bring more than 8 million donors into or back into the donor pool. That tension gives the episode its central insight: tax policy can expand participation while still reducing total dollars, because not all donors give at the same scale. What makes the discussion especially useful is the way Bill and Jon unpack how unevenly those effects are likely to be distributed. Smaller and midsize donors who do not itemize may actually increase their giving thanks to the new deduction, creating a projected gain of around $4 billion. At the same time, higher-income households face several new limitations that are expected to reduce giving by roughly $8 billion, a much larger effect because these donors account for a disproportionate share of total philanthropy. The episode does an excellent job of translating technical policy into practical fundraising implications, especially for organizations trying to understand whether this matters for their own donor base. Jon offers an important caution here: even organizations that do not think they serve top-tier donors may still be receiving gifts from wealthy individuals whose giving is spread across many causes. Bill reinforces the point with his usual clarity, reminding listeners that aggregate research is most valuable when it helps frame smarter, more informed conversations with actual donors. As the episode concludes, the focus shifts from prediction to action, and this is where the conversation becomes especially valuable for frontline fundraisers. Jon emphasizes that tax incentives only work when donors know they exist, noting that many households still misunderstand whether they itemize and what giving is deductible. That means nonprofits have a real opportunity, and perhaps a real responsibility, to educate supporters about the universal charitable deduction and to communicate clearly that they are qualified charitable organizations. Bill draws the lesson together beautifully: this is not simply a policy story, it is a donor-relations story. Fundraisers should not panic, and they should not assume every donor will react the same way. Instead, they should use the research as a baseline, ask better questions, and help donors understand how the new rules may intersect with their values and giving plans. For organizations navigating a shifting philanthropic landscape, this episode offers both grounding and direction, showing that even in the world of tax policy, the most important work still begins with knowing your donors well.

The April 15th tax filing deadline is about two weeks away, and Governor Josh Shapiro is encouraging Pennsylvanians to take advantage of a new state tax credit. The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit was created in the current state budget. The Pennsylvania Fast Track Permit program coordinates multi-agency permitting for large-scale economic development projects – and provides transparency as projects progress. But some northeastern Pennsylvania residents have questions about the state program, after learning a data center project was accepted into fast track but never appeared on the program’s website.
