Eagle County Paramedics Services took its funding case to the voters Tuesday and got nearly $1 million in relief. Early results from Tuesday’s voting had the issue passing with 4,519 (61%) votes in favor and 2,930 (39%) opposed. The question sought voter approval for relief from the constraints of Colorado’s Gallagher Amendment. Passed in 1982, the amendment mandates that property tax collections are split between residential and non-residential property owners. Residential property taxes must be no more than 45% of collections across the state. Non-residential property owners pay 55% of the total. But widespread residential construction along the Front Range has hit hard for Western Slope special districts. There isn’t enough non-residential tax base to cover the continual decline.
