Rob Bleiberg wrote an opinion piece published in The Denver Post on January 28, 2017, entitled "Conservation easement tax credit program too critical not to fix." Although Bleiberg does not promote any retroactive fixes for the hundreds of landowners burnt by the C.E. fiasco, at least he honors the value of the program and suggests changes going forward. Unlike the state auditor who recently reported seeing no value in C.E.'s to the State, Bleiberg quotes a study that is more realistic: "A Trust for Public Land study, peer reviewed by a Colorado State University economist, found that conservation easements delivered $6 of value for every $1 invested by Colorado."
