Denver November 2004 Election
The FasTracks Yes! folks are kicking off their campaign to get voters to approve a sales tax increase for the project tomorrow, according to the Rocky Mountain News [May 1, 2004, "FasTracks backers begin campaign Sunday"]. From the article, "Backers of the tax hike that would pay for most of FasTracks will kick off their effort at 2 p.m. with a rally at the Englewood Civic Center amphitheater - right next to the busy light-rail station they say can be duplicated all over metro Denver within 12 years...Opposition to FasTracks is going to come from the man who helped defeat Guide the Ride in 1997 - Jon Caldara, a former RTD board chairman who is opposed to rail transit. He now heads the Independence Institute, a libertarian think tank in Golden."
Peter Coors' campaign is taking some comfort from a poll they commissioned from the Tarrance Group, according to the Rocky Mountain News [May 1, 2004, "New poll good news for Coors"]. The polls shows them trailing Attorney General Ken Salazar (52 to 41) but it also shows Bob Schaeffer behind Salazar (53 to 36).
