And if you want to take a photographic tour, check out Adventurous Antelope Slot Canyons. Personally, I found the upper canyon to have more of a “wow” factor than the lower canyon. To avoid the worst of the crowds, visit this canyon early or later in the day, if you don’t mind missing out on the ideal lighting.įor photographers I recommend Upper Antelope Canyon. The people of Prowers County deserve better and we will always advocate for their interests.If you are looking for a fun experience and like the idea of exploring a narrow canyon, then Lower Antelope Canyon gets our vote. Not all of Colorado is the same and local governments must be treated as partners in finding long-term solutions that positively impact our people in all parts of the state. As we work to find a way to fund essential services with limited resources in our small, rural county for next year, we hope that you will give serious consideration to the impacts of your policies on our residents. We are beyond disappointed that the special session offered little tax relief and no bipartisanship since we all know that property tax is not a partisan issue. You should have listened to the voices of the people when they overwhelmingly voted “No” on Proposition HH and delivered real solutions that help. Governor, had the chance to lower property taxes throughout Colorado, for our shared constituents. We are not in a position to lower our mill levy without cutting essential services. We manage our budget to be fiscally responsible while providing essential services, such as transportation, infrastructure and public safety, to our people. While property taxes have increased dramatically on the Front Range and in other areas of Colorado, we have not seen such increases in Prowers County. Our constituents live here because they love living in a less populated area of the state. The challenges on the Eastern Plains are different than the Western Slope or rural resort communities. Additionally, not all rural areas of the state are the same. As you are aware, rural Colorado faces different challenges as compared to the Denver-Metro area. The Board of County Commissioners of Prowers County would like to take this opportunity to share our concerns about your call to local governments to lower property taxes.
