Use Tax Rally

Denver 7 Coverage

Honored to be invited to speak at the rally in Louisville yesterday regarding use taxes. Superior waived use taxes for fire victims back in February and Louisville is discussing later this week. The real challenge is that Boulder County has not been open to any conversations about use tax relief.

Further, BoCo is paying $0 towards cleanup in Superior or Louisville despite the residents here paying the exact same taxes as those in Unincorporated Boulder County where BoCo is covering the costs. What we're asking for is equal treatment and refunds of the use tax. Note that BoCo's general fund reserve is greater than Louisville and Superior combined.
