by
Jimmy Sengenberger Hooray! Thanks to Colorado’s unique Taxpayer Bill of Rights, we’re all getting a tax refund! The state’s controller, Bob Jaros, revealed Friday that single filers will get $69 and joint filers will receive $166.

Jimmy Sengenberger It happened. It finally, actually happened. On Sunday, Gov. Jared Polis and Denver-Metro counties abided by my March 23 column, restored local COVID control and eliminated the mask mandates. Whoa!
