Value times mill levy; statewide taxes administered by state statutes
Dear Editor:
I went down the legendary rabbit hole on the Meeker Message Board (Facebook) several days ago and can’t shake the responsibility to enlighten the RBC taxpayers. Several responses to a post directed at the County Assessor were so off-point concerning property taxes on our local Rio Blanco homes and properties, I could not stay silent. Communism was even mentioned in some comments.
Apparently…
This is in response to Mr. Ford’s misinformation about Colorado Senate Bill 26-146. The bill does not prohibit restaurant’s providing napkins and utensils. The bill restricts restaurants from automatically providing single-use utensils (plastic ware). Here isa summary of the bill: “The bill expands the ‘Plastic Pollution Reduction Act’ by prohibiting, on and after January 1, 2027, a retail food establishment or third-party food delivery service from providing single-use food serviceware to a customer unless the customer requests single-use food serviceware or confirms that the customer wants single-use food serviceware when offered after being asked if they would like single-use food serviceware. A retail food establishment or third-party food delivery service is only permitted to provide the single-use food serviceware items requested or confirmed by the customer. The bill specifies certain exceptions and clarifies that a third-party food delivery service is not liable for a retail food establishment’s failure to follow a customer’s request if the third-party food delivery service accurately communicated the customer’s request to the retail food establishment” (SB26-146, 2026).
