I believe that the community deserves to have a conversation about each of these proposals, and the National Western project in particular, and that is why I voted to refer this bond proposal to the ballot. I appreciate that the bond language was changed so that residents will be able to vote on the National Western projects separately from the other projects listed in the Facilities Improvements. This adds transparency to the process, and allows the community to have a conversation about where we see Denver heading in the future. When I ran for office, I did so to bring the voice of the people back to our local government, and I believe that having you - the voters - decide whether to approve this bond funding is the right way to accomplish that.
Please read below for more information and resources about the RISE Bond projects. As always, feel free to reach out to our office if there is anything we can do to assist you. Thank you for being among the most engaged communities in Colorado!
Gratefully,
Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer
District 5
