Supporters of Referendums C and D rallied yesterday in El Paso County, according to the Denver Post [August 3, 2005, "Referendum backers launch campaign in anti-tax El Paso"]. From the article, "Ethan Eilon, a head volunteer for Vote No; It's Your Dough, said the opposition is fighting an uphill battle in the county. 'I think anytime you have to convince voters on a tax increase, it is an uphill battle,' Eilon said. 'I think we are going to do fine in El Paso.' Colorado Springs, the home of TABOR author Douglas Bruce, has emerged as a battleground for divided Republican leaders."
Meanwhile the future of the Denver Election Commission will be debated by City Council today. From the Denver Post, "The Denver City Council is holding a public hearing today on a ballot initiative that would eliminate the three-member Election Commission and remove the clerk and recorder position from the mayor's executive branch. Instead, a new position of elected clerk would be created and be accountable to Denver residents. The clerk would appoint a director to run election operations. If the council approves the measure, it will go to voters in November. The hearing is at 5:30 p.m. in council chambers."
DenverGov is down this morning so no link to the Election Commission website.
