Colorado voters reject measure that would have lowered property tax by eating into their tax refunds

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:24:29 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Despite seeing assessed home values soar by double digits, Colorado voters on Tuesday rejected a measure that would have lowered property tax bills for homeowners in return for decreasing a tax refund unique to the state that last year provided $750 to each taxpayer.Under the measure the the owner of a $500,000 home would have paid anywhere from $186 to $276 less in property taxes this year than they normally would, depending on local tax rates, according to estimates by legislative analysts.In exchange, after an initial increase in the taxpayer refund for everyone this year, the refund checks would have started to decrease and possibly disappear for people of all income levels over the next decade, depending on how much revenue the state takes in, according to legislative analysts.And renters would have gotten smaller taxpayer refunds — known as the TABOR refund, a reference to Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights — without getting any of the direct relief that homeown...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:24:29 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Democrats Schuyler VanValkenburg and Russet Perry won critical seats in Virginia’s state Senate on Tuesday, buoying their party’s bid to maintain control of the chamber and blunt GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s conservative agenda.The victories by VanValkenburg, Perry and others brought to at least 20 the number of seats that will be held by Democrats in the state’s 40-seat upper chamber, where the Republican lieutenant governor breaks ties. Other key Senate battlegrounds were too early to call. The balance of power in the House of Delegates was also at stake Tuesday, with Democrats aiming to defy Youngkin’s hopes of a trifecta. While all 140 General Assembly seats were on the ballot in a costly and competitive election year, the majorities were expected to be decided in about a dozen districts in Hampton Roads, suburban Richmond and northern Virginia. Vote counting was still underway late Tuesday. In a statement, VanValkenburg thanked his opponent, incumb...

Que va dire Emmanuel Macron aux francs-maçons ?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:24:29 GMT

C’est un petit événement en soi : Emmanuel Macron est attendu à 12h45 ce mercredi au 16 rue Cadet, dans le IXe arrondissement de Paris, au siège du Grand Orient de France. La principale obédience maçonnique célèbre en effet cette année ses 250 ans, ou plus précisément l’anniversaire de l’appellation “Grand Orient de France”.Une occasion toute trouvée pour que le président resserre encore un peu ses liens avec les frères, même si l’Elysée assurait hier qu’il est simplement “respectueux des consciences et des expressions des uns et des autres”, invitant la presse à ne pas faire “d’autre lecture de ce déplacement”.Sa deuxième visite depuis 2016Car il fallait bien un tel prétexte. S’il n’est pas rare qu’un ministre ou même un président de chambre parlementaire s’y rende, la venue d’un chef de l’Etat au siège du Grand-Orient n’a en effet rien d’habituel. Emmanuel Macron est certes déjà “venu ‘plancher’ dans le temple Groussier de la rue Cadet”, comme l’...

That’s especially true when I’m coming off of a vacation and not yet back into the rhythm of cooking at home.Milk Street’s latest cookbook comes to the rescue with a theme, spelled out in its title, that anyone tasked with daily cooking can appreciate: “Simple.”A simple recipe, the team writes, isn’t so much easy — though many are — as it is so perfectly constructed that every component is essential and in balance with the whole. Drilled down to the essence, “Simple recipes are reductionist, each step and ingredient integral to the final dish.”This easy weeknight recipe beautifully illustrates how just a handful of ingredients can be transformed into a quick, nourishing and extremely flavorful supper. Inspired by the dry style curries of southern India, it embraces blooming — or heating spices in hot fat to extract their flavor and...
