Denver November 2005 Election
Denver may ask the voters for a de-Brucing of revenues this fall, according to the Denver Post [April 7, 2005, "Denver may seek relief on TABOR"]. From the article, "Denver officials might ask voters in November to allow the city to keep roughly $7 million in taxes collected in excess of state limits. Fueling interest in that possibility is a gap of at least $26 million and possibly as much as $35 million in the proposed 2006 budget that Denver officials must find a way to plug...(Chief of Staff Michael) Bennet ruled out furlough days - mandatory days off without pay - for city employees. The furlough days imposed last year were a one-time measure that hurt morale, he said."
Here's the coverage from the Rocky Mountain News [April 7, 2005, "'06 budget crunch"]
