Skyrocketing Property Taxes, Suncor Emissions, and Which Lawmakers Want to Block You

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stacks up to other states when it comes to property taxes on residential real estate and the reasons Colorado voters repealed the Gallagher Amendment back in 2020.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!
