I just went to look. Still a narrow margin, but outcome shifted.

479 votes. Dang. Not as close, but still razor thin at 0.28% between winning and losing. I voted against this one so I am disappointed, but that's democracy sometimes.
I voted no as well. Five tax increases in one city in one election is demented.
But I am glad the mental health issue passed.
Going wider as the last ballots are counted. Over 1% now.
Tax increases in Denver, while not exactly popular, are voted for if the cause sounds good. On the whole.
For me, it is not the number of tax increases, but rather their total and kind. A property tax increase seems more widespread and difficult to avoid and so feels fairer to me. And would be even better if it could be made progressive so that someone with a $800,000 home is paying a higher rate than someone with a $150,000 one.
Agreed. I worry that city businesses will lose sales to unincorporated suburban tax islands or the Internet. I could have supported several of these as a property tax.
Also, while not strictly progressive, the property tax is proportional and the Gallagher Amendment means business pays about four times the rate residences do.
That's a problem too, and at some point the state is going to have to untangle the gallagher\tabor\school finance, etc. Mess.
We may fiercely disagree on other things, but we are as of one mind about the need to fix the Gallagher/Tabor/23/etc. mess.
Otherwise we are going to keep getting government by cute workarounds using fees and accounting magic, at least at the state level.
Where is the Denver Big Line for 2019?
