Denver Business Journal: "The United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 said Wednesday it is removing two of its four potential ballot questions, including one that would increase commercial property tax by 5 percent and another that would require employers to provide annual cost-of-living increases. The measures were filed in response to Amendment 47, a so-called right-to-work ballot initiative that would bar unions from collecting mandatory dues in workplaces that engage in collective bargaining. UFCW President Ernest Duran said he agreed to remove the two counter measures after the Public Affairs Committee of the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce voted to oppose the union-supported measures as well as Amendment 47."

From The Rocky Mountain News: "Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall, accused of "blowing off" debates with Republican challenger Bob Schaffer, on Tuesday proposed holding at least eight debates statewide between July and November. The proposal came several hours after Schaffer's campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, asked why Udall's campaign was dragging its feet on scheduling debates...The Udall campaign on Tuesday afternoon did confirm two debates, one in July with the Southeast Business Partnership and one in August sponsored by Channel 12. West said the debates have to be scheduled around Udall's congressional duties."
