Denver May 2005 Special Election
Yesterday, Mayor Hickenlooper led the first tour of the city's jail facilities designed to get voter approval in May, according to the Rocky Mountain News [January 11, 2005, "Faith in justice center"]. From the article, "There are three reasons Denver voters will soon approve a jail expansion they have turned down twice in the past, Mayor John Hickenlooper said Monday. The new jail won't involve higher taxes, there will be a set limit on the size of a new downtown facility, and it will include a new courthouse. All three elements were missing from past proposals. Hickenlooper kicked off a new phase of a campaign to build a justice center Monday morning by taking reporters and photographers from the City and County Building to a small downtown detention facility and eventually to the sprawling jail complex along Smith Road in northeast Denver."
