Early tabulations showed that Denver's $550 million infrastructure bond and tax increase appeared headed toward passage tonight, but the portion that would raise revenue to expand cultural facilities led by only a thin margin.
As of 9 p.m., the $70 million expansion of cultural facilities garnered the favor of 51 percent of the voters in early returns, with 49 percent of the voters rejecting the measure…
John Wren, a Republican who had appeared on radio talk shows in opposition to the campaign, said Hickenlooper may have trouble passing future measures. Wren said he plans to organize opposition, which appeared fractious during the bond campaign.
"People will need to take notice and organize to oppose an end run against a representative system of government, or we'll just continue to see steady increases like this," Wren said. "We need a grassroots citizen network to watch these things as they form."
