June 26: American Legion Votes Support of Gold Star Wives Property Tax Exemption

This morning the Department of Colorado of the American Legion, meeting at their annual conference in Colorado Springs, approved a resolution for Gold Star Wives inclusion in the Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption program.

The resolution initiated with the Legion post in Fort Collins. 

The Legion's resolution urges UVC to include the issue in its 2022 state legislative agenda. The coalition's agenda is yet be finalized. Obviously the legislature itself must agree to a solution during the next session.

Left unclear is whether a constitutional amendment or an act of the legislature will be the preferred approach.

The Legion's approved resolution joins that of the Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of the Colorado Bar Association, plus our own from the C-123 Veterans Association. It remains for the Gold Star Wives, not third parties, to actually initiate UVC consideration of this issue.
