Denver Rejects Income Levy Plan in City Vote
More than 100000 Denver residents participated in a special city election and narrowly defeated a proposed income tax 57,773 to 41,014. If approved, the tax would have applied 1 percent on income over 5000 and 0.4 percent on the first 5000, lasting three years and aimed at funding city services. The setback triggers an austerity budget with cuts to library hours, trash collection relief, new police hires, and city hall Christmas lighting.
