Rockies Mailbag: My all-time Rox team and would Dick Monfort ever sell team?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:15 GMT

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.Pose a Rockies — or MLB — related question for the Rockies Mailbag.Who’s on your All-Rockies team — one player per position — using the criteria of your choice?— Greg, Estes ParkWow, Greg, that’s not an easy assignment and I’m sure my choice will tick off some people. But I’ll give it my best shot. And I’m so sorry, CarGo, but you didn’t make the cut. It’s Greg’s fault.• Right-hander starter: Ubaldo Jimenez. He burned out quickly, but from 2007-10 he was sensational, especially by Rockies standards.• Left-handed starter: Kyle Freeland. His 2018 season (17-7, 2.85 ERA), capped off by his gem in the wild-card game at Wrigley Field against the Cubs, was magical. He’s remained a team leader and a tough-as-nails pitcher even though he’s never come close to matching his ’18 season.• Closer: Brian Fuentes. Co...

Editorial: Democrats are working overtime to reduce taxes. No, hell hasn’t frozen over.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:15 GMT

Colorado’s Democrats are officially working overtime this holiday season to … brace yourselves … lower taxes.No, hell hasn’t frozen over.Rather, Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, recognizes that voters trusted both Republicans and Democrats in 2020. Failure to reduce property taxes in the face of this unsustainable increase is a betrayal of that trust. He called lawmakers back for a special session to act quickly before tax bills are set for March.Three years ago, Coloradans supported Amendment B voluntarily giving up the only thing insulating Colorado homeowners from the crushing housing inflation — the Gallagher Amendment. Inflation in home prices leads to higher home values which, in turn, increase property taxes. The amendment kept property taxes low for homeowners by ratcheting down the residential assessment rate while holding the commercial assessment rate the same. Without the amendment in place, property taxes are set to increase by as much as 40% in some communities whe...

Even with the happiest place on earth just a stone’s throw away, Realtors are feeling more like Disney’s Grumpy than Happy these days.“When I look at the statistics, we are not happy,” Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors told his membership Tuesday, Nov. 14, in Anaheim.“We underwent two years of a kind of difficult time period in real estate,” Yun added. “(A) 20-year high in mortgage rates have (caused) our buyers (to have) shockingly higher monthly mortgage payments.”Also see: Just 15% of Californians can afford a home, lowest rate in 16 yearsA doubling of payments led to a 32% drop in existing home sales over the past two years, curbing income for the vast majority of agents.Slightly better times are ahead for the nation’s real estate industry, Yun said during his 2024 forecast at the Anaheim Convention Convention Center, where more than 12,000 Realtors are gathered for their annual conference.Existing home sales are forecast to rise to 4.7 milli...

Federal judge dismisses Huntington Beach’s lawsuit against state over housing mandates

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:15 GMT

A federal judge has dismissed Huntington Beach’s lawsuit against the state over housing mandates, a loss for local leaders who are fighting the state’s demands for the city to plan more housing.Judge Fred W. Slaughter granted the motions to dismiss the case filed by the state and the Southern California Association of Governments. Attorney General Rob Bonta, in a statement, celebrated the judge’s decision.“We filed a motion to dismiss Huntington Beach’s federal lawsuit because we believed it was meritless. We are pleased that the court agreed,” Bonta said. “With this behind us, we look forward to prosecuting our state case against Huntington Beach. Everyone must do their part to address California’s housing crisis.”In March, the state filed its lawsuit against Huntington Beach accusing it of knowingly violating state housing laws. Hours after top state officials announced the lawsuit, the city sued the state in federal court, arguing that because Huntington Beach is a charter city i...
