Amnesia Theater, Nancy Spence Edition

View the original

From GOP propaganda "news" site Coloradosenatenews.com:
This week's debut features GOP Senate Whip Nancy Spence, of Centennial, urging the General Assembly not to cut the state's property tax homestead exemption for senior citizens. Spence tells viewers that the exemption, which can offer substantial property-tax savings to seniors who have lived in their current homes at least 10 years, "is one way Colorado recognizes the contributions of its many senior citizens over the years."

"Suspending or repealing that important allowance in state law would be an insult to the very Coloradans who have done so much for our state," Spence says in the video.

Sounds really compelling, doesn't it? Problem is that reduction of the homestead exemption has been done before, in 2003--in a budget compromise that Nancy Spence voted for.
