Colorado recognizes sacrifices of our totally disabled veterans, awarding a partial property tax exemption to 100 percent totally and permanently disabled veterans. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has two types of 100% disabled veterans – (1) vets with a 100% disability (2) vets with a total disability rated “Total Disability for Individual Unemployability” (TDIU.) VA benefits for the two types are identical, but Colorado’s TDIU veterans are unfairly denied the exemption
GOLD STAR WIVES:
HB14-1373 added surviving spouses of seniors and disabled veterans to the property tax exemption in Article X Section 3.5.
That means the legislature modified a provision in the Colorado constitution without bothering with an amendment!
Oops.
That is "extra-constitutional." But it was done. Can we do the same "extra-constitutional" approach to add Gold Star Wives (spouses) to the survivors?
