Your favorite local music venue faces an uncertain future. This CSU professor has some ideas to help
The music business is infamously tough – and arguably getting tougher. Musicians generally earn less from streaming services than they once did from record sales.

Smith STEAM Academy will close at the end of the school year after the Denver school board voted 4-2 Thursday to shutter it. The high school, which was modeled on historically Black colleges and universities, has just 24 students this year . Board Vice President Monica Hunter and member John Youngquist voted no. Hunter, a former Denver teacher who works for the statewide teachers union, asked about pausing the vote until an agreement granting concessions to teachers at the school could be finalized. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the school district was done negotiating. He said the two sides verbally agreed on a $1,000 payment to the teachers, plus protections for international teachers with work visas. Marrero said the district rejected other requests. Hunter said those included giving non-tenured teachers two paid days off to interview for other jobs. “The rationale is this is precedent setting,” Marrero said, “and potentially we have some more (school) consolidations coming, and it would not behoove us

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
