Colorado voters approve transit tax despite economy
(The Center Square) - Colorado voters approved a sales tax increase to fund a transit project that could cost the state over $1 billion in gross domestic product over the next 10 years. Residents in the Front Range Passenger Rail District voted 56% to 44% in favor of Ballot Issue 7A, which would create a 0.33% sales tax for the district, including 31 cities such as Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The Nov. 3 ballot initiative is expected to raise an estimated $295 million annually for the Front Range Passenger Rail District. The extra tax revenue will help the public agency expand its starter rail route between Denver and Fort Collins to Colorado Springs and Pueblo while increasing train frequency across the corridor. The Denver-to-Fort Collins route is expected to start in 2029, while the others are anticipated to begin in 2032. Sal Pace, general manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District, said Colorado is “one of the most congested states in the country,” especially in the Denver metropolitan area. “On average, people are losing two entire full work weeks every single year being stuck in traffic,” he told The Center Square. The new project will

Newcomer Melissa Mejía vows to bring working-class focus to council
At-large Denver City Councilmember-elect Melissa Mejía partly credits the blue tsunami that swept Colorado on Nov. 3 for helping propel her to victory. Why it matters: Mejía is the latest democratic socialist to notch a major win in Denver, further cementing the Democratic Socialists of America's g rowing political influence ahead of next year's municipal elections. State of play: Her victory keeps the seat vacated by Sarah Parady in progressive hands. Mejía secured a key endorsement from Melat Kiros , who's headed to Congress, and a historic nod from Denver Democrats , whose backing marked the group's first in a nonpartisan election. She tells us her win reflects frustration with "traditional politics" and a renewed focus on working-class residents. What's next: Mejía's immediate priorities include a tenant rights proposal she helped craft, stronger worker protections and anti-displacement measures. Context: A longtime housing advocate and planning board member, Mejía built a coalition of moderates and progressives in just three months — defeating nine opponents . She says council may be "less flashy" than federal offices, but decisions about land use, zoning and city spending carry major consequences for residents. Caveat: More Denver voters skipped the at-large race than voted for Mejía,
