Colorado Voters Weigh Passenger Rail and Income Tax Rates in Election

Colorado voters headed to the polls Tuesday to decide on three ballot measures that could affect transportation funding and tax rates for residents across the state and University of Northern Colorado students. Ballot Issue 7A, Amendment 87 and Proposition 136 address the future of passenger rail funding and Colorado’s income tax system, raising questions about transportation accessibility and the cost of living because of funding state public services. According to unofficial election results, as of 8:46 p.m. Tuesday, Ballot Issue 7A leads with yes votes of 14.68%. Amendment 87 leads by yes votes of 24,849. Proposition 136 leads by no votes of 116,838. For UNC students preparing to enter the workforce, the two income tax measures on ballots this November could determine how much they pay in taxes after graduation.
