Jeffco League of Women Voters meeting on ballot issues

Election Day is fast approaching and the nonpartisan Jefferson County League of Women Voters will be examining Colorado Ballot Issues as well as reviewing new simplified and modernized election rules at its Tuesday, Oct. 8, meeting in the Evergreen area. The two statewide ballot measures include Amendment 66, which raises additional taxes for funding public schools and implements the new School Finance Act; and Proposition AA, which sets a 15% excise tax and a 10% sales tax on all marijuana sales (except medical) in the state. The meeting is open to the public, regardless of party affiliation.
