Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:02:32 GMT

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s decision to withdraw from a lawsuit against the state highway patrol has earned a sharp rebuke from his potential 2024 rivals, with candidates from both parties demanding he return campaign donations connected to companies suing the state.Bailey cited an unspecified conflict of interest for not being able to defend the Missouri State Highway Patrol in a lawsuit filed nearly two years before he took office by companies accused of operating illegal gambling devices — Torch Electronics and Warrenton Oil. The state will now be defended by private counsel. The attorney general’s decision quickly drew criticism over the fact that his campaign has received thousands in contributions in recent months from political action committees connected to the chief lobbyist for both companies.  “It is ridiculous that taxpayer dollars will now have to be spent on hiring private lawyers to defend the public interest in this litigation becaus...

Colorado property tax relief: Polis, lawmakers reveal plan to ease skyrocketing tax bills

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:02:32 GMT

The fate of property tax policy will likely be in the hands of Colorado voters this November as lawmakers and the governor try for long-term solutions to the state’s skyrocketing property values.Gov. Jared Polis and the members of the Democratic majorities in the state Senate and House of Representatives unveiled Monday a proposal that would chop $40,000 off the valuations that steer total property taxes owed, reduce the overall residential assessment rate and expand and enhance the senior homestead exemption, among other changes.In all, the owner of a $600,000 house who just saw their valuation increase by about 30% — the state average is 33% — would see their expected tax increase drop from about $834 next year to about $406, according to an analysis from the governor’s office.The spike in property valuations, which topped 60% in some pockets of the Front Range, set off alarms among some assessors in the Denver metro area last week.“As people get thei...
