Denver Ballot Issues Briefing - LWV Denver
Denver voters will inevitably have questions about the twenty-three ballot measures on the November 3 ballot. In two October briefings, the League of Women Voters hopes to provide some answers.
On October 12, Denver Leaguer and LVWCO Board Member Steve Coddington will explain and respond to questions on the twelve Denver ballot issues. Taxes will also be the subject of several questions that Denver voters will decide. In addition to two revenue requests from Denver Public Schools, there are two proposals to increase sales taxes to fund climate change adaptation and to improve services to the homeless. A second group of measures would increase the power of the City Council in relation to the Mayor: these include increased budgeting authority, required Council approval of mayoral appointments, and the ability to contract for professional services without mayoral approval. Two other government-related issues are creating an advisory board for the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure and a reorganization of the Clerk and Recorder's office. Also on the ballot is a measure authorizing the city to offer municipal broadband and another to repeal the ban on pit bulls.
