Please plan to attend League's annual briefing about the issues that will be on the November ballot. League members will be presenting the main provisions, background, and what a yes/no vote means for each initiative. You can then share what you learn as a good resource for friends and family.
Our ever-popular Denver Ballot Issues: What a Yes or No Vote Means booklet is available in English now on the LWVD website (Spanish language version is coming soon!). You can find the state-wide ballot issues on the LWVCO website. |
LWVD will hold a virtual briefing to explain and discuss Proposition NN "TABOR Revenue Cap Increase for K-12 Education Measure" and the "Colorado Establish Graduated Income Tax and Dedicate New Revenue to Education, Healthcare, and Childcare" Initiative 195.
The speakers will be Evie Hudak, former CO State Senator and member of the Colorado State Board of Education, and Joshua Mantell, Director of Government Relations for the Bell Policy Center.
Both of these measures will have the support of the Colorado and Denver Leagues. Our positions on adequate funding of education, childcare and healthcare align with these measures. Please attend this virtual event. Look for the link on our website lwvdenver.org.

Voter Education on Fiscal Questions
As you know, starting on October 5 ballots will be mailed to Colorado voters. There are 14 statewide ballot questions, and three would have a big impact on the state budget. COLab and the University of Colorado School of Public Affairs have built an interactive tool that lets you make your ballot choices and then take the resulting revenue and decide how the legislature should spend it. It takes about ten minutes, and at the end there is an opportunity for you to sign up to join a discussion. This is a preview version and they would like to have as many of us use it before the general public gets access after Sept 18.
