More new laws for Colorado property owners:
The property tax exemption – 50 percent of the first $200,000 of actual value – given to homeowners aged 65-plus and fully disabled veterans is being suspended for the 2009 tax year in order to “help” the state deficit. The exemption will be restored for the 2010 tax year unless new legislation is passed. http://dola.colorado.gov/dpt/dpt_news/docs/Legislation/276_enr.pdf · Every snowflake and every drop of water that falls on the State of Colorado is accounted for and belongs to someone, whether it is a water company, developer, or other authorized user or exported out of Colorado as required by various water pacts. In the past, rain barrels or other means of water collection violated the States prior-appropriation laws. Senate Bill 09-080, effective July 1, allows The Colorado Division of Water Resources to accept applications from residents who get their water from wells, outside of municipal water systems, to set up their own rain collection systems. For details go to http://water.state.co.us/pubs/pdf/RainWaterBills.pdf. Find SB09-080 here: http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2009a/csl.nsf/fsbillcont/49D4349AC4A73794872575370071F5D4?Open&file=080_enr.pdf
I had a little problem with moles in my yard. I hired Colorado Rid-A-Critter and Dan Gates came out to set some traps to remove the moles. Dan’s very knowledgeable about nuisance wildlife and I believe he got rid of the varmints that had taken up residence in my yard. Of course, a new mole family can always take up residence in the vacant tunnels underground but the moles are gone for now. Reasonable pricing, great service, I highly recommend Colorado Rid-A-Critter (719-275-4077)
I thought this was cute: The Pueblo chapter of the Colorado Restaurant Association invites you to join in and “Fork the Recession…Feed the Recovery” by DINING OUT! Restaurants are a vital part of our state and local economy, employing 233,700 people, and pouring over $570 million back into Colorado’s economy. So DINE OUT for breakfast, lunch or dinner today and feed yourself and your local economy!
