LETTERS THAT NEVER GET PRINTED
To The Denver Post:

A MODEST PROPOSAL

Re: “Rentals take a vacation from tax,” The Denver Post, 2/12/2010. Instead of dogging the homeowners in these plush ski resorts for a piddling bed-tax, why don’t the local governments team up with the Colorado Legislature and go after the ski companies--where the money is--for more revenue? In almost every case these businesses are using public domain (land owned by all of us and nontaxable) for private gain.

The co-opting of public property for private enrichment with little or no reimbursement to the taxpayers is an issue that needs to be examined much more closely. Any bets?
