Issues Facing Colorado Springs Remain July 05 2021

Council Matters Archives - Studio 809 Podcasts

The Saga continues.

Will the financial situation that the city faces be resolved? We’re talking Billion$ here. Is the current city council up to the task? Can tourism save the day? Will the C4C really be a financial boom or will the venues be line items on the city’s future budgets? Is the city absorbing the costs of infrastructure for tourism? Let’s not forget current infrastructure needs. Aren’t the city’s own enterprises supposed to support themselves with no additional costs to the taxpayer? Raising taxes, anyone? Metro districts: are they distorting the revenue streams? How do you feel about Colorado Springs giving the USOC Museum $1M per year? (Psst! The city has already given the USOC over $50M+ already)
What businesses are locating to Colorado Springs? Who are they? We’re not talking franchises or fast food. Looks like there’ll be at least two tax increase measures on a November ballot. Will it be enough for the citizens to vote on or will we have a “Tyranny of the Minority”……….. Again? Who’s going to pay for the Storm Water infrastructure at the Air Force Academy? Hint: Not the Air Force.
