Heart Of The Matter

Welcome to the Americhicks podcast. Kim Monson is your host - Agree or disagree, let's have a conversation! Just to be clear, being against government attempting to force people into electric vehicles or onto public transportation does not mean a person is against the idea of having clean air. It is government force that we find ourselves against. We are not against clean air or the furthering of technology. PERA, the Public Employment’s Retirement Association is taking on volatility in order to try to increase returns. What does that really mean to our young teachers and the taxpayer who is paying more and more for PERA? Numbers guru,Joshua Sharf, joins Kim to explain how the increased volatility decreases returns. You can read Joshua's latest piece on PERA at Complete Colorado (pagetwo.completecolorado.com/2019/07/16/sharf-peras-volatility-matters) Plus, concerned citizen, Glenn Slaybaugh, will explain how the County Assessor has redefined the square foot distribution of property to increase taxes.
