Raised "in a small Alaskan prison town," and an experienced protestor for Indigenous Peoples' rights, Proff is committed to helping "close the gap between the law and education. Your armor is your knowledge of the law," she explains. We learn, for example, in addition to writing your one-call number on your arm "old school" with a Sharpie, if you are arrested for lawfully protesting and you don't have an attorney, you can contact the National Lawyers Guild of Colorado to request legal assistance.

04/24/20 • 67 min
Listen "beyond the soundbite," as Law Talk Colorado news anchor Michael Moran talks with Western Colorado's Sheriff Matt Lewis of Mesa County in this extended podcast episode. Sheriff Lewis shares insights into the new challenges, approaches, and discusses interpretations of the state's rulings relevant to law enforcement in this time of COVID19. An excellent followup to episode #4 featuring Grand Junction's Police Chief on the public safety aspects of the COVID19 rulings as the two agencies often work together. Sheriff Lewis reminds us through his detailed responses that not every community is a reflection of national news headlines; that it is all too easy "to take that national information and extrapolate it to the men and women here locally... that's not who we are." The information shared and questions answered by Sheriff Lewis are not only relevant to Western Coloradans, but an overall excellent listen to those interested in how one community's law enforcement is managing its protests, stay-at-home orders, and more during the COVID19 pandemic.

008. Is REPEAL the solution to Colorado's Gallagher Amendment property tax problem?
Law Talk Colorado, a Law Talk Global Network brand
06/04/20 • 31 min
Second in our ongoing series about the Gallagher Amendment's property tax impact on Colorado communities, Law Talk Colorado News Anchor Angeline Roles interviews Colorado State Senator Bob Rankin of Carbondale who argues that repeal of Gallagher is the most practical next step in solving the problem. A complicated issue that bumps into TABOR, the Taxpayer Bill Of Rights, Senator Rankin explains that rural communities are going to be hit the hardest because the State can't continue to cover the growing property tax shortfalls to the districts. Colorado residents enjoy one of the lowest residential property tax rates in the nation, while Colorado commercial property tax rates are some of the highest in the nation, which presents particular challenges to rural areas with a higher residential to commercial ratio. The formula for determining these ratios is locked into the Gallagher Amendment. "The good news is, we can repeal Gallagher and freeze residential property tax rates at the current low rate," Rankin says. He supports proposed legislation that will put repeal of the Gallagher Amendment to Colorado voters on the 2020 ballot. "We hope people will educate themselves on this," he says. "Contact your Fire District, School District, ask them how the property tax shortfalls are impacting them and their communities; they'll tell you. This is a complicated issue and we have got to do something to solve it."

Join Law Talk Colorado news anchor Michael Moran as he visits with Grand Junction Police Chief Doug Shoemaker about the challenges and incident management approach taken by the Grand Junction Police Department dealing with the social and public impacts of COVID19. One of many advantages of podcasting is the ability to interview magazine style, which allows us the opportunity to get to know the legal experts as they share relevant aspects of their own stories. For example, we learn in this visit with the Chief that prior to joining the Grand Junction Police Department, he spent most of his life and career in Missouri, including as Incident Commander for the 2014 peaceful NAACP protest march in Ferguson following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. He and his wife spent many summers in Colorado and have family in the state, "so, when this opportunity came up," the Shoemakers decided they were ready. "This is our home now," he says.
