Colorado is offering a tax break on state taxes...50% of aircraft modifications to use 100UL which is mostly the STC. Unfortunately it's for taxes 2025 thru 2030. When did I buy the $103 STC? December 2023.
rats.
rats.
100UL Tax Break. Not.
- Thread starter murphey
- Start date
Scammy fuel attracts state scammy incentives
CO seems to have it out for 100LL, science be damned

Big win out of Colorado—The Town of Superior’s lawsuit against Jefferson County over operations at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC) has officially been dismissed.
Superior and Boulder County tried to stop flight training operations at RMMA by claiming public nuisance and lead exposure. The judge made it clear: federal law governs airspace and flight operations, not local governments. They cited Burbank, Santa Monica, and East Hampton in reaffirming FAA supremacy.
Translation: Don’t build homes right in from of one of the busiest runways in the country. if you’ve got a problem with airport operations, take it up with the FAA—not the courts.
This dismissal wasn’t just procedural. The court agreed with every argument Jefferson County made, saying they had no authority to regulate airport operations or flight training.
Superior has burned upwards of $750,000 of taxpayer money on this failed crusade—and all they have to show for it is a dismissed lawsuit and a stronger legal precedent protecting GA.
It’s a win. But it won’t be the last fight.
Ballot initiatives, environmental claims, and noise activism are still brewing across the country, especially in Colorado. Stay alert and stay involved—especially if you fly out of a busy Class D with nearby residential development.”

The law should be simple: move in next door to anything already in operation, you forfeit any right to challenge said operation.
The only standing should be to contest growth/expansion (ie the sleepy GA airport suddenly wants to expand and include regular commercial passenger OPs, etc).

Money talks,all of a sudden airports make for good developments when there closed down ,the old adage that the airport was there first doesn’t really work anymore
Maybe hold the realtors responsible for not disclosing there is a airport there, if real estate salesman did disclose maybe have a assessment to see if the home owner/complainer is mentally competent to handle their own affairs

Starting a thread about a 50% tax credit on a $103 purchase?
Times must be tougher than I thought.

Touchdown! Greaser!
We just defeated the local noise nuisance + "They're poisoning the kids with lead" element at our place. But that's just round 1.
This is just the cheap version. The other STC costs over $600 for the Cherokee.
