Marijuana possesion Denver's lowest law enforcement priority? Colorado Confidential: " Supporters of an initiative to make adult possession of marijuana the 'lowest law enforcement priority' in the Mile High City say they're willing to bargain with members of the Denver City Council and the Mayor. Instead of putting the issue up for a vote--the course the measure is likely headed for now--proponents are willing to withdraw it as long as Denver officials put a stop to marijuana possession citations during the Democratic National Convention in 2008. But that's not all. The campaign behind the initiative, Citizens for a Safer Denver, is also requesting that city representatives take a stand and examine their positions on marijuana."

Bond issues on November ballot The Cherry Creek News: "The Denver City Council voted to put a package of tax increases and bonds on the November ballot on August 13. The taxes, if voter approved, would cost the average homeowner (of an average home worth $250,000) $2380. Mayor John Hickenlooper will champion the package before the voters. For the fourteenth time in the Hickenlooper era, Denver voters will face a tax increase proposition." Category: Denver November 2007 Election 6:10:39 PM
