Let Us VOTE

Let Us VOTE We are a group of residents of Loveland who believe we need to make some changes in Loveland. Food is essential for living.

The first petition is to eliminate the tax on food for home consumption. This is a regressive tax that has a higher cost to those who are not “wealthy”. By not taxing food, citizens could either purchase additional food or other needed products in Loveland. Eliminating the tax on food would help ease the pain of rising prices caused by inflation. With the increase in Property taxes we also believe

residents need every dollar and this is one way to help. The second petition deals with Urban Renewal Authority (URA). A URA allows taxing authorities like the City, School District, or the County to divert their tax money they would normally collect to developers. This could be many millions of dollars intended to support the needed service each taxing entity requires, thus impacting their budgets for 25 years. When such a major impact is requested we believe the residents should be able to vote on such a proposal.

Loveland voters chose to eliminate sales tax on food for home consumption during the Tuesday, Nov. 7 election. Here is some information to help the public understand what administrative changes need to happen before this takes effect on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2024.

It’s time to close the Let Us Vote page.
In May, some people gathered to see what could be done about what we felt was a misuse of Urban Renewal Authorities by our city council. We also felt that taxing food was immoral and should be addressed.
From those meetings Let Us Vote was born. It was a long road from idea, to developing the petition language, and finally actually hitting the streets to gather the signature for two petitions. Our goal was about 3500 signatures for each petition to allow for some rejections. Since we had a late start we only had 60 days to meet the deadline set by the city.
Green shirts started showing up at Farmers Markets, our Library, the Chilson Center and other places around town.
Thanks to the dedicated volunteers and the voters of Loveland that signed the petitions we surpassed our goal. Well over 4 thousand signatures were collected for each petition.
On Wednesday, August 9, the team turned in two boxes of petitions to our city clerk, Delynn Coldiron. She closed the clerk's office for Thursday and Friday that let her team work until Monday afternoon. They validated over 8 thousand signatures, confirming both petitions met the required number of signatures.
In November the voters of Loveland passed the URA and food tax exemption with a vote of 70 and 66 percent respectively.
Our goal from the beginning was to allow the voters of Loveland to have a voice on these two important issues. That goal has been met, so it is with pride and gratitude for all the support the voters gave us during this journey that we close this page. Loveland is a great city, and it gets better every time the residents get involved.
We will leave the page up until 5pm Wednesday 12/6/23 for any comments.
Health and happiness to all from the Let Us Vote team..

We think increased traffic deserves our immediate attention. We think metro taxes need to be scrutinized ... are they really lowering the price of housing in metro districts? We like that Mayor Marsh is questioning "favored developer" status in Loveland and diverting public money to private developers!

Vote Jack Marsh the People's Mayor

1. Continue to advocate for affordable and attainable housing, which considers the consequences of increased traffic and plans for a multitude of transit options.

2. Stop the preferential treatment of favored developers and other special interests. Prevent farmland from being declared blighted, as a ruse to divert property taxes for 25 years.

3. Advocate for a Climate Action Plan with tangible and achievable steps that produce immediate and long-term benefits.

4. Continue to fight for Metro District Reform by emphasizing the need for complete disclosure of both the home price and the infrastructure debt, BEFORE anyone makes a home purchase offer.

5. I am committed to finding solutions for and preventing people experiencing homelessness. solutions that produce the best outcome for our community.
