How Denver Voted on the Mayor’s Bond, the Flavored Tobacco Ban, and More
Mayor Mike Johnston celebrated victory on Tuesday night as Denver voters approved his Vibrant Denver bond proposal by wide margins. But not everyone was smiling as the results rolled in. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi break down the numbers from election night — from the flavored tobacco ban to city council at-large election reform — and talk about what it says about where Denver is headed. Plus, we take a look at some surprising results from across the metro area and the country.
