Colorado Homeowners Save $1B, But Services Struggle

Colorado homeowners are set to save over one billion dollars from property tax cuts, with over eight hundred million dollars already delivered. However, local services are facing financial strain due to rising costs and a six-year freeze on tax changes. Home values surged post-pandemic, leading to tax bill increases, and fire trucks now cost double the original price. The full impact on communities is yet to be determined as budgets settle and home prices cool. Checkout Solipillow.com

  • Jeffco Schools Face $49M Deficit, Cuts Loom

    01:48|
    Jeffco Public Schools, Colorados second-largest district, is grappling with a severe budget crisis, with a projected deficit of forty-nine million dollars. The district has lost five million dollars in state funding due to a significant drop in enrollment, exacerbated by falling birth rates and mass deportations. To tackle the deficit, theyve cut fifty jobs and eliminated one hundred thirty-nine full-time positions. These cuts will lead to reduced services, including less support for social-emotional learning, slower cleaning and repairs, fewer meal options, and delays in finding substitute teachers. The district is now seeking a fifteen million dollar mill levy from voters to avoid further layoffs. Checkout Solipillow.com
