Colorado property tax relief measure cleared for November ballot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:31 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado's Supreme Court has cleared the way for voters to decide on a property tax relief measure this November.Proposition HH would lower property tax rates for the next 10 years and backfill local government revenues with surplus tax money — that's the money normally refunded to Coloradans as "TABOR checks" under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Attorney John Eastman surrenders in Trump’s Georgia case The ballot measure was under a challenge from 12 counties and the conservative group Advance Colorado. They argued the measure addresses too many topics, in violation of the Colorado Constitution, which requires a single subject and clear title for ballot measures.A Denver District judge rejected the challenge, and in an opinion on Monday, the state's high court agreed. The court found that, based on precedent, neither court has jurisdiction to review whether Prop HH meets single-subject requirements "unless and until those measures have been approved by Colorado voter...

New rescue center for dolphins opens on Cape Cod

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:31 GMT

A new rescue center for dolphins has opened on Cape Cod, designed to provide care for stranded dolphins on the Cape and improve their chances of survival. The International Fund for Animal Welfare rescue center is located in Orleans and is the first of its kind in this area. 7NEWS recently got a look inside as staff say they’re excited to be able to help dolphins. “Because of where we’ve located the facility, we are about 20 minutes from all of our most frequent stranding locations,” said Brian Sharp of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “That’s what we’re going to concentrate on because that’s where it most frequently occurs.”The area sees more instances of live mass strandings of dolphins than anywhere else in the world. Until now, though, there had not been any similar facilities for dolphins north of Florida. Now open, the new facility in Orleans occupies a formal retail space with a room containing two large pools and extensive equipment to maintain the r...

Healey, Spilka say they expect tax cuts before the end of the year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:31 GMT

The people in charge seem optimistic about tax reform.Following an event in Lawrence on Tuesday, Gov. Maura Healey and Senate President Karen Spilka  were asked if either thought the state would see a significant tax cut package pass this year. Both said it is their hope the joint conference committee working to iron out the differences in proposals offered by the House and Senate — for more than two months now — will soon have a compromised piece of legislation for lawmakers to consider and make law.“I am very hopeful,” Spilka said. “As I said at the end of session, we’ll pick that up immediately. I believe that we need to get that done.”Long before lawmakers departed for their August recess, state representatives proposed about $640 million in tax cuts and were answered by an about $590 million plan from the Senate. Both plans offer cuts to help seniors, renters and low-income families, but a major difference between the pair is a House pr...

Tuition costs for undocumented students drop under new state budget

Joan Shauri didn’t appear nervous as she approached a microphone at Northern Essex Community College in Lawrence.Just after Gov. Maura Healey helped her stow her purse away under the podium, despite the fact it was probably the first time she’d ever stood next to so many state officials for a press conference, when she started to share her story she did so standing straight-backed and without a quaver in her voice.The nursing student was an obvious outlier in a line-up otherwise composed of public figures, visibly far less advanced in years than those around her, and one of the last to speak after about a dozen state officials and college system administrators had explained what brought everyone together Tuesday morning.They’d gathered because for some students, like Shauri, the state has paved the way for them to get a higher education otherwise made more difficult or denied through no fault of their own.Brought to the U.S. from her native Tanzania as a 10-year-old, Shauri told the...

Orioles’ Tyler Wells to pitch in relief after move to Triple-A: ‘Definitely want to see what that looks like’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:15:31 GMT

Tyler Wells was a key reliever for the Orioles down the stretch of the 2021 season. They’re hoping for a repeat in 2023.After making three starts with Double-A Bowie, Wells will join Triple-A Norfolk to work out of the Tides’ bullpen, manager Brandon Hyde said before Tuesday night’s matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays.The right-hander, who turns 29 on Saturday, was Baltimore’s best starter in the first half, but signs of fatigue showed in his three starts out of the All-Star break. Using Wells as a reliever will help the team manage a career-high workload while also potentially adding another capable arm to Hyde’s late-inning mix.“Definitely want to see what that looks like just because of how Tyler pitched out of the bullpen a couple years ago and how well he did there,” Hyde said. “He’s thrown a lot of innings this year for us in the rotation and kind of where we are, hopefully we can stay healthy the rest of the way, but just k...
