Will Prop HH eliminate TABOR refunds? Scenario 'likely' over time

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Proposition HH is touted as a way to lower tax payments, but it would also have an effect on Colorado's TABOR refunds.Prop HH would do a few things under the premise of lowering property taxes for the next decade. It would, in part, increase the cap on state revenue — meaning some of the money refunded under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights would stay in government coffers. After 10 years, the law could be extended without voter approval.So what does that mean for TABOR refunds? As laid out in the 2023 ballot information booklet, the refunds will be lower in the future, and it's possible they could be eliminated.TABOR refunds would change under Prop HHColorado's TABOR law puts a cap on state revenue and requires the excess to be returned to taxpayers. Normally, the refunds are distributed based on income.For the 2023 tax year, Prop HH would flatten TABOR refund amounts to an estimated $898 for single filers and double that for joint filers, regardless of income, accordi...

Planet in ‘habitable’ zone could have rare oceans and a possible sign of life, Webb data reveals

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

(CNN) — Waters may be flowing on the surface of a colossal planet that lies about 120 light-years from Earth, according to new evidence uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.The investigation with the space-based observatory, one of the most advanced astronomy instruments in operation, revealed that the exoplanet K2-18b may have some key features of a planet that could support bodies of water — and life.Closely orbiting the cool dwarf star K2-18, the exoplanet lies within the star’s habitable, or Goldilocks, zone and is 8.6 times as massive as Earth. An analysis of Webb’s observations found the planet has abundant methane and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.The presence of these carbon-bearing molecules, along with a scarcity of ammonia, could indicate an atmosphere rich with hydrogen that surrounds an ocean world, according to a NASA news release.Carbon is considered the building block of life-forms on Earth.The Hubble Space Telescope initially spotted evidence of water vapo...

Germany’s Social Democrats throw party for Putin’s pal Gerhard Schröder

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

Germany’s center-left Social Democrats (SPD) will honor former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder at a shindig in his hometown, despite heated discussions over the ex-leader’s Russia links. The Hannover SPD branch will carry out a tribute for Schröder’s 60-year-long party membership, the managing director of the SPD branch, Christoph Matterne, told POLITICO. He added that there was no consensus on holding a party at city level, so the event is being organized by the district.The party will take place on October 27, the anniversary of the start date of Schröder’s chancellorship 25 years ago. The date was selected after a call between the SPD and Schröder, Matterne confirmed. The event will only be open to invited guests. Among the 50 attendees will be close friends of Schröder and former members of his Cabinet, who will watch the ex-leader be awarded a pin and a certificate.Schröder — who in March survived an attempt to expel him from the SPD — has come under fire fo...

What Ursula von der Leyen said vs. what she meant

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

BRUSSELS — Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union address on Wednesday hit several strong rhetorical notes, from soaring invocations of historical destiny to a touching anecdote about a Ukrainian mother who fled to Europe with her son.For the European institutions, which say “strategy” frequently and practice it rarely, this was big-picture stuff. It was likely intended either to cement her legacy or bolster her chances of winning a second term next year (if she decides to stand for reelection).Perhaps for that reason, she took a softer tone than she has in the past on touchy subjects such as climate ambition and rule of law — earning rebukes from many politicians and nongovernmental organizations, while avoiding provoking her main constituencies.For those not used to parsing Brussels speeches — or those simply too dazzled by Von der Leyen’s fetching salmon blazer to pay attention — here’s a guide to what she really meant.What she said: “Our Union today reflects the vision o...

‘Anti-chump’ clause makes Ravens a silent party to Orioles lease talks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:15:50 GMT

A 31-year-old rule nicknamed the “anti-chump clause” makes the Ravens a significant, if silent, party to the Orioles’ ongoing lease negotiations by mandating that the state can’t treat one team better than the other.Under the parity clause, the state is like a parent legally bound to love each of its children the same.“It guarantees that we would be treated the same in future dealings, that if they’re going to do something special for the football team, they do something equally special for the baseball team,” said Larry Lucchino, who helped draft the clause in 1992 as Orioles president and CEO.At the time, Maryland was hotly pursuing an NFL club after the Colts abruptly left for Indianapolis in 1984. Lucchino called the clause “anti-chump” because it ensured the Orioles wouldn’t get left behind when a football team arrived and began negotiating a lease with the Maryland Stadium Authority. The Ravens began play in 1996.This...
