 Coyote Gulch took advantage of early voting to cast his ballot yesterday. Now I won't have to fight the crowds on May 3rd.
Here's an article from the Denver Post with a good deal of detail about the jail population [April 24, 2005, "Tough crowd crams jail"]. They also list the early voting locations.
More background about the new Justice Center from the Denver Post [April 24, 2005, "To jail or not to jail"]. From the article, "For the second time in less than four years, Denver voters are being asked to approve a new jail and criminal justice center. The old jail's many problems haven't evaporated since voters in November 2001 rejected a plan for a $325 million justice center near Interstate 25 and West Sixth Avenue. Now, Referendum 1A proposes to cure those problems with a $378 million jail and justice center downtown. The election is May 3; early voting has started and runs through Friday."
Mayor Hickenlooper takes up the argument in favor of the new Justice Center in today's Denver Post [April 24, 2005, "YES: It's a necessity"]. Meanwhile Rosella Gonzales and Phil Cherner urge voters to reject it [April 24, 2005, "NO: It's too much"].
