Letters: Prop. HH’s property tax break is needed relief

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:32:56 GMT

Proposition HH will provide reliefRe: “Prop HH is a money grab,” Oct. 15 letters to the editorRegarding the letters in last Sunday’s Open Forum, I plan to vote for Proposition HH and hope the majority do the same. I have no idea what the situation might be with the writers of the anti-HH letters, but for me and a lot of other homeowners, the assessed value of my home is skyrocketing next year (over 60%). That means that, all else being equal, my property taxes will also skyrocket to the point where they may become unaffordable. My appeal for a reassessment went nowhere, as it did for most other people in Arapahoe County. My only hope is for some help with Proposition HH.With all due respect to the lovers of TABOR, I’ve always believed that it should never have been passed, as it short circuits the way our democratic republic is supposed to work. We elect people to represent us with the hope that they will make the best decisions for us. TABOR often hamstrings their effor...

It was a pie that I was raised on. It’s simple. And it’s just delicious.”While America has gone wild with pizza toppings, the tomato pie’s allure is in its focus. Even its name i...

New research gives insight into why the ‘Big One’ hasn’t hit Los Angeles yet For many it would be the second alert of the day, following an errant predawn message that hit some phones with a voice message announcing the test. The U.S. Geological Survey said it was likely due to a mix-up in time zones set in the test alert system.The real thing happened a day earlier, however, when a magnitude 4.2 quake struck southwest of California's capital in the agricultural Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region.The tremor triggered a warning from the ShakeAlert system, which detects the start of a quake and sends warnings to areas expected to experience shak...
